Internal Investigations and Compliance

Internal investigations, regulatory compliance, and privilege protection

Internal investigations are critical tools for companies to assess potential misconduct, regulatory compliance issues, and legal exposure before they can escalate into government enforcement actions or damaging litigation.

We represent clients by conducting independent internal investigations across all types of industries. Our attorneys understand how to structure investigations to preserve attorney-client privilege while gathering comprehensive evidence, coordinating with ongoing business operations, and presenting findings that help you make informed decisions about disclosure, remediation, and regulatory compliance.

Types of Issues We Investigate

We conduct internal investigations across a range of issues, including:

  • Antitrust violations and market manipulation

  • Congressional compliance matters

  • Corporate governance and board ethics issues

  • Cybersecurity and data privacy breaches

  • Employee misconduct and harassment

  • Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) compliance

  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations

  • Healthcare fraud and kickback schemes

  • Procurement fraud

  • Securities and financial reporting violations

  • Theft of trade secrets and corporate espionage

In addition to conducting internal investigations, we assist in developing compliance programs to prevent future violations and in demonstrating good-faith cooperation with regulators when issues arise. Effective compliance requires more than written policies—it requires ongoing monitoring, training, and assessment to address real-world business risks.
