“In my day-to-day work in the field of compliance and the conduct of internal investigations, I have been inspired for many years by the diversity of the issues under investigation, the complexity of the questions that arise, and the opportunity to delve into new areas of expertise.”
Lars Eissfeldt has been advising national and international clients for more than 15 years in the areas of corporate governance, white-collar crime, compliance, and internal investigations.
During this time, Lars has supported and conducted numerous internal and forensic investigations—including those related to criminal investigations by public prosecutors and tax audits—at national and international companies and financial institutions, overseeing all key stages of the process.
The investigations he has conducted to date have primarily focused on allegations of fraud, embezzlement, financial statement manipulation, money laundering, Cum/Ex deals, violations of financial regulatory provisions and in the context of financial transactions, as well as the handling of the diesel emissions scandal.
