Key Takeaways | Mastering Multi-Dimensional Risk: Litigation, Compliance & Cross-Border Investigations 2026

The regulatory and enforcement landscape continues to evolve at pace, creating an increasingly complex environment for organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions. While sanctions, anti-money laundering, fraud, ESG and corporate governance have traditionally been managed as separate compliance disciplines, one of the strongest messages emerging from our latest roundtable in Milan was that these risks are now deeply interconnected. Across the UK, France and Italy (and the US), regulators are asking fundamentally the same question: can organisations demonstrate that risk management is embedded in the way that the business is governed and operated?
