Our Internal Investigations Practice
Clients turn to us to conduct privileged investigations into sensitive allegations involving fraud, corruption, accounting and SOX-related concerns, workplace misconduct, sanctions violations, and other regulated conduct, including activity that’s international in scope. Cross-border investigations are those that span multiple jurisdictions. They require careful coordination of legal privilege, data privacy, witness interviews, and government interactions across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America — led by counsel with deep prosecutorial and investigative experience. Our investigations practice is led by Kevin R. Brenner, a former federal prosecutor with over two decades of investigative leadership experience.
Investigations work routinely intersects with our Regulatory & Compliance, Transactional & Corporate, International Market Entry, and FCPA & Anti-Corruption practices. Learn about the firm, meet our strategic leadership, and see the clients we serve.
Investigation Challenges Facing Global Companies
Internal Investigations of Misconduct
Whistleblower reports, accounting irregularities, executive misconduct, and harassment allegations require independent, privileged investigations that protect the company while preserving credibility with regulators and the board.
Independent Internal Investigations
We lead privileged investigations including witness interviews, document and data review, and detailed reporting to the board, audit committee, or special committee — with the credibility of a former federal prosecutor.
Cross-Border Government Inquiries
Parallel inquiries from the DOJ, SEC, foreign regulators, and self-regulatory organizations create coordination risk, privilege risk, and jurisdictional complexity that can quickly outpace a company’s in-house resources.
Government & Regulatory Defense
We coordinate responses across multi-jurisdictional inquiries, manage data preservation and production, navigate cross-border privilege and data-privacy issues, and represent companies in subpoenas, document requests, and witness interviews.
Fraud, Bribery & Sanctions Investigations
Allegations of accounting fraud, FCPA violations, trade-sanctions breaches, or money-laundering concerns demand fast, defensible investigations that preserve evidence and inform disclosure decisions.
Specialized Investigation Capability
We conduct targeted investigations across fraud, FCPA, sanctions, AML, and trade compliance — partnering with forensic accountants, e-discovery vendors, and local counsel as needed.
Crisis Response & Privileged Reporting
High-stakes matters require disciplined crisis management, careful media and stakeholder communications, and investigation reports that hold up to regulatory and litigation scrutiny.
Crisis & Strategic Reporting
We partner with senior leadership on crisis response, work-product reports, and remediation roadmaps designed to satisfy regulators, support remediation, and protect the company’s long-term interests.
