The most sensitive internal investigation requires informed and strategic guidance to limit legal and reputational risk. Relying on our risk management, litigation, and regulatory backgrounds, our team prepares our clients for investigations from the initial probe to high-profile scrutiny.

Tarter Krinsky & Drogin’s Internal Investigations Practice assists clients conducting, responding to, or otherwise involved in internal or external investigations. We conduct independent internal investigations on behalf of private and public entities — from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies — in matters involving the company or its employees, executives, or directors, including those matters that are highly sensitive and/or high-profile. We also represent clients who are responding to investigations and need counsel in that regard. We advise clients on how to address potential government probes and/or public scrutiny in a way that mitigates reputational, brand, and litigation risk. Our team also designs and implements corporate compliance procedures and provides training programs and audit compliance programs.

Our team handles internal investigations that begin when the company or its people face public scrutiny regarding issues such as regulatory compliance, employment practices, corporate governance, alleged interpersonal misconduct, and fraud or other criminal misconduct. We privately conduct due diligence and correct deficiencies before the government becomes involved and mitigate the potentially negative or punitive effects that can stem from government investigations or enforcement actions.

When an internal investigation shifts toward heightened external scrutiny, we work closely with the Firm’s White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Practice to provide wide-ranging strategic service. Similarly, we collaborate with our Litigation Practice when our investigation reveals that litigation will likely ensue.
