Corporate & Internal Investigations
Reducing Exposure, Quietly
Corporate & Internal Investigations
When your organization faces suspected fraud, ethical violations, regulatory risk, or internal misconduct, the stakes extend beyond the immediate issue — liability, reputational exposure, operational disruption, and governance failures compound quickly. We conduct documented, evidence-grade investigations that give general counsel, CFOs, and executive leadership the facts they need to act decisively while minimizing organizational risk.
Our Capabilities
Fraud Investigation & Detection
Systematic investigation of suspected financial fraud, embezzlement, and misappropriation. We quantify exposure, trace fund flows, and build a factual record that supports termination decisions, regulatory filings, civil recovery, or criminal referral.
Workplace Misconduct & HR Investigations
Documented, impartial investigation of harassment, discrimination, and policy violations — structured to meet EEOC standards and reduce the organization's litigation exposure. Findings delivered in board-ready format.
Regulatory & Compliance Investigations
When regulators inquire or internal audits surface concerns, you need to understand your exposure before responding. We conduct investigations that help GCs and compliance officers assess risk, document remediation, and respond from a position of knowledge.
Threat Assessment & Operational Security
Evaluating threats to personnel, facilities, intellectual property, and business continuity. We identify vulnerabilities, assess risk levels, and deliver actionable recommendations to C-suite and security leadership.
Corporate Espionage & IP Theft
Investigating the theft of trade secrets, proprietary data, and intellectual property. We trace the exfiltration path, identify the actors, and build an evidence package that supports injunctive relief, civil recovery, or criminal prosecution.
Pre-Transaction Due Diligence
Before acquisitions, partnerships, or key executive hires, we investigate the people and entities involved — uncovering litigation history, regulatory actions, undisclosed affiliations, and reputational risk that standard due diligence packages miss.
Discretion as a Governance Requirement
Corporate investigations carry reputational, legal, and operational risk. Our process is designed to minimize disruption, protect privilege where applicable, and produce findings that satisfy boards, regulators, and courts. Sacramento-based, serving organizations nationwide.
