NIUS is pleased to announce its contribution to the new edition of the HR Internal Investigations 2026 Global Practice Guide, published by Chambers and Partners, a leading international authority in legal research and market analysis.
The guide provides an updated and comparative overview of the latest regulatory developments and best practices relating to HR internal investigations across more than 20 key jurisdictions worldwide. Italy is represented by the chapter authored by NIUS co-founders Michela Bani and Alessandro Paone, together with counsel Giacomo Bertelli, who examine the specific features of the Italian legal and operational framework.
The contribution offers a comprehensive analysis of the entire lifecycle of an internal investigation, from the initial assessment and definition of the investigative strategy to the conduct of interviews and fact-finding activities, through to the management of procedural, evidentiary and decision-making aspects. Particular emphasis is placed on safeguarding the rights of all parties involved, ensuring the proper exercise of employer prerogatives, and maintaining transparency, compliance and proportionality throughout the process. The 2026 edition also addresses issues of growing importance for organisations, including data protection, the use of artificial intelligence in investigative processes, whistleblowing systems, the prevention and handling of workplace harassment, and the coordination of multi-jurisdictional investigations.
The contribution in this prestigious international publication further confirms NIUS’s role as a strategic partner to companies and senior management in navigating organisational and workforce matters, delivering highly qualified legal assistance focused on risk prevention and long-term value creation.
