Efficient and Robust Investigation Procedures
Whether handling a small, focused investigation or managing complex interrelated allegations, we develop a targeted approach to each engagement. We take into consideration other potential ramifications, including public disclosures, the possibility of self-reporting to a regulator, crisis communications, and potential and actual parallel proceedings. Our procedures are rigorous enough to ensure meaningful, credible and complete results, but flexible enough to tailor our investigative approach to both the issues at hand and the needs of our clients. This includes an initial assessment and identification of potential legal issues; factual investigation, including directing the work of forensic auditors or other third-party consultants as needed; advice regarding internal and external communications; and interactions with state and federal enforcement officials and regulators as needed.
