Europe
While many businesses increasingly treat Europe as a single commercial market, in practice it is a complex web of national and local cultures, practices and legal systems. Kroll’s long history of engagement throughout the region is a critical advantage to our clients, whether they are considering such opportunities as acquisitions, investments or joint ventures, or facing problems like corruption, fraud or unfair competition. Even projects that may seem to be entirely set in one location, such as internal investigations, often turn out to have a cross-border dimension, as capital and labour can move increasingly freely from country to country.
Kroll has been present in Europe for nearly a quarter century and now has five fully-staffed offices and over a hundred professionals in the region. But almost more importantly, our accumulated experience covers every European country and business sector, a critical advantage to our clients throughout the region and those doing business there from outside.
UK
The UK offers a strong and mature economy, a stable political and legal structure, and a very open attitude to trade and investment; but these advantages do not automatically mean that doing business in the UK is without risk. The regulatory environment has become significantly more complex, not just in financial services, but also in competition, data protection and corporate governance, with substantial financial penalties and criminal sanction for those who get it wrong. The UK’s open door stance has made the country home to many politically and reputationally complex charactersa policy that creates pitfalls for the unprepared. Kroll’s long-standing and strong presence in London helps clients deal effectively with these types of challenge.
The UK is a major centre for international dispute resolution, either through the UK courts or through arbitration. Increasingly, non-UK parties accept London as an effective location to settle disputes, with experienced professional support and globally recognised judicial expertise. Kroll is an essential part of this community, with a keen understanding of the needs of the client’s advisors and tested and effective ways of supporting them.

Russia
According to Churchill, Russia is “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”; but it can no longer be ignored for international business. It is a critical market player and an important market for goods and services, and its businesses play an important role around the world. Russia is not such an enigma for Kroll: we have been working there since the dissolution of the Soviet Union and have had an office in Moscow since 1996. Our work for Russian clients has given us an understanding of the way Russian business actually works and a capacity to penetrate the misunderstandings and misrepresentations that cloud Western perceptions of the country and its commerce.
Working in Russia and with Russians is an important opportunity for many clients, but is one with real risks as well as significant rewards. Kroll has developed a proven track record in helping to manage the risks, and to secure the rewards of our clients’ successes.
