Counsel In Corporate and Internal Investigations

There are many reasons for outside counsel to conduct a professional, internal investigation of an organization, institution or company. Perhaps the best reason is to ensure that the business or other entity is complying with the law or, if it is not, to begin corrective action for the good of the organization and its clientele. Waiting to be sued or worse, indicted by the federal government, is never a good strategy. Proactive investigation, compliance, and early cooperation with governmental authorities is the hallmark of the best and most successful corporate citizens. Some of the most prominent and otherwise law-abiding organizations, institutions and companies can get into trouble if they do not respond promptly and appropriately to misconduct in their midst, and if they do not understand and know how to deal with criminal investigations. The ostrich defense does not work. Moreover, obstruction of justice charges can await those who mishandle their response to a criminal investigation.
