De Brauw internal investigation firm of the year
De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek has been named internal investigation firm of the year in the “best regional or boutique practice” category by Global Investigations Review. Lawyers and prosecutors from around the world gathered at New York’s Conrad Hotel on 24 September to celebrate the great and good of the international investigations bar.
De Brauw is one of the few non-US and non-UK winners ever to win the award and was praised for the way it advised oil platform services company SBM Offshore in its USD 240 million foreign bribery settlement with the Netherlands in November 2014.
Marnix Somsen, resident partner of De Brauw New York: “This award is a true client award, so we are very happy with it. It is an appreciation of how we have been developing the relationship with our clients and of how we advise them in their internal investigations in the Netherlands and throughout the rest of the world”.
