Inside the Raid: Tips and Tricks for Developing a Dawn Raid Protocol

With increasing scrutiny from the European Commission and the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA), the risk of unannounced inspections – so-called “dawn raids”– is rising across industries.

Drawing on recent experience assisting in an EU dawn raid, our team will outline key differences between Finnish and EU inspection practices. We’ll also hear from a colleague in our Danish office, who will share valuable insights from his time as inhouse counsel at a listed Nordic company. Presentations will be delivered in Finnish and English.

This session offers hands-on guidance to help you prepare for and respond to dawn raids, covering:

• Key differences between EC and FCCA inspections – and how to prepare for both
• Core components of an effective, realistic inspection action plan
• Common weaknesses in corporate dawn raid readiness – and how to fix them
• Best practices for internal protocols and employee training

Whether updating your current protocol or starting fresh, this seminar will equip you with the tools to minimise legal and reputational risks – keeping your business focused under pressure.
