Internal Investigations

We help companies, boards, and senior leadership confront sensitive internal issues that demand careful, independent investigation and strategic judgment. We assist in examining potential misconduct, regulatory noncompliance, and workplace concerns, providing clear guidance in situations that carry significant legal, operational, and reputational consequences.

Our team has decades of experience conducting focused, properly scoped internal investigations across the globe. We have managed investigations in more than 100 countries, ranging from targeted examinations of discrete issues to large‑scale, multinational investigations. We are frequently engaged by boards and special committees to investigate allegations involving senior executives or founders and to deliver findings and recommendations that support sound governance and decision‑making.

How We Guide Clients Through Investigations

We advise clients on internal investigations involving a wide range of issues, including industry‑specific regulatory concerns, FCPA compliance, data breaches, whistleblower complaints, third‑party risk, human resources matters, and workplace culture and safety issues. Our team also counsels clients when internal investigations intersect with scrutiny from law enforcement authorities and regulators in matters involving money laundering, fraud, anti‑corruption, and sanctions.

We approach these matters with an emphasis on coordination, efficiency, and outcome‑driven strategy. Our investigations team comprises lawyers dedicated to internal investigations, regulatory enforcement, white‑collar defense, compliance, congressional inquiries, and crisis management.
