Overview

When undertaking internal investigations and legal compliance reviews, experience and credibility matter. It is why corporations, governmental entities, and non-profits hire us when confronted with significant internal irregularities, allegations of impropriety, and compliance issues.

As former federal and state prosecutors and regulators, we have conducted and supervised hundreds of investigations.

We proceed with discretion, but thoroughly, to uncover, gather, and analyze information from individuals and documents on claims of:

  • Bribery
  • Breaches of fiduciary duty
  • Healthcare fraud
  • Theft
  • False claims
  • Money laundering
  • Violations of government contract regulations
  • Violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
  • Privacy and data issues

We make independent assessments and recommendations to our clients, and develop and help implement personalized, effective compliance programs, understanding that prompt and proactive crisis management can reinforce a company’s credibility with law enforcement agencies, regulators, licensing boards, and the investment community. With the right compliance approach, early and aggressive action can also mitigate or altogether eliminate exposure.
