Helping a Spanish Manufacturer Respond to a National Government Investigation

Interrogating the data — and getting clarity.

A large manufacturing company in Spain was under investigation by the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission.

FTI Consulting was appointed to carry out a due diligence exercise to help the client understand the facts of the matter and respond to the authorities. During this process, the company and its majority shareholding investment fund identified a series of potential irregularities across the business that could disrupt operations and impact compliance. 

Notre impact

FTI Consulting helped the client understand the scope and scale of complex issues under investigation — including around staffing, international trade and pricing — while also avoiding the deletion of sensitive data and addressing wrongful termination claims.

Notre rôle

Facilitating efficient and timely legal review

The investigation dealt with numerous potential issues and violations, including alleged price fixing, transactions in sanctioned countries and wrongful termination claims. As part of the comprehensive due diligence process, FTI Consulting led three concurrent workstreams to accelerate document review for the client’s legal counsel. 

  1. Digital forensics experts conducted a data preservation and collection exercise to ensure all potentially relevant information was protected from unwanted and intentional deletion.

  2. The team interrogated the data to determine whether the alleged price-fixing behaviour had occurred and presented the findings in a defensible manner to the competition authority.

  3. Experts determined the facts around the company’s business dealings with individuals and/or organisations in sanctioned countries.

  4. Forensic experts investigated company emails and other communications to assess wrongful termination claims.

  5. Our team documented workflows to ensure fulfilment of the regulator’s requirements and timelines.
