This article is part three of a four-part series providing practical advice for general counsel on key aspects of managing their job during a major government investigation—taken directly from pros in the field.

When in the midst of a substantial investigation, interactions with regulatory officials become both very sensitive and highly important to outcomes. Managing those interactions effectively is a key credential in the general counsel portfolio.

I sought wise advice and insights from highly experienced legal heads of multinational companies:

  • Richard Bennett, former group general counsel (retired December 2012), HSBC Bank plc, London
  • Sabine Chalmers, chief legal and corporate affairs officer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, New York
  • Dan Fitz, general counsel, British Telecom Group, London
  • Peter Herbel, general counsel, Total S.A., Paris
  • Massimo Mantovani, general counsel, Eni S.p.A., Rome
  • Michael O'Neill, general counsel, Canadian Helicopter Corp., Vancouver
