The Belgian law of 18 May 2024 regulating private investigations marks a significant shift in the legal landscape for employers conducting internal investigations. This comprehensive reform replaces outdated legislation and introduces stricter compliance requirements, notably impacting data privacy and HR practices. Understanding these legal requirements is essential to avoid potential pitfalls and ensure that investigations are carried out in a lawful and efficient manner. 

On Tuesday, January 28 at 12:00 CET, Crowell & Moring will host a webinar to help employers, HR professionals, and legal practitioners navigate the new regulatory framework, mitigate risks, and adopt best practices.

  • How does the new law on private investigations impact internal investigations and litigation?
  • The general principles and structure of the new legal framework
  • HR law aspects: key considerations for employers
  • Certification requirements for private investigators
  • GDPR implications and interactions with the EU Whistleblower Directive
