Regulators will continue to behave “increasingly aggressively” in 2015, Linklaters’ global head of dispute resolution, Michael Bennett and his team predict. Bennett says he expects “no sign of a decline in the amount of investigation and enforcement work involving regulatory risk in the coming year”. Global head of environment, Vanessa Havard-Williams predicts a greater focus by companies on due diligence concerning the supply chain and third parties, while, on the environmental front, companies face greater exposure under new UK sentencing guidelines from July with fines capped at £3m.
