When wrongdoing surfaces inside a company, the response has to be quiet, lawful, and evidence-driven. A botched internal inquiry can destroy the proof, trigger wrongful-termination or privacy claims, and tip off the very person you are investigating. A licensed corporate investigation is built to avoid all three.
What corporate matters do we investigate?
- Internal fraud & embezzlement — expense abuse, kickbacks, ghost vendors, and skimming
- Employee misconduct — theft, policy violations, harassment, and falsified credentials
- Intellectual property theft — trade-secret and data exfiltration by departing staff
- Due diligence — vetting partners, executives, acquisitions, and vendors before you commit
- Lawful undercover & surveillance — discreet fieldwork where the situation warrants it
How do you keep the investigation legal?
Legality is the whole point of hiring a licensed firm. California permits legitimate workplace investigations but prohibits illegal wiretapping, recording confidential conversations without consent, pretexting for protected records, and trespass. We plan each step around those limits and around employee privacy rights, so the company gains usable evidence without creating a second lawsuit for itself. All work is performed under California BSIS PI License No. 190161.
Can the findings support termination or litigation?
Yes. Evidence is documented, sourced, and — where digital — preserved with forensic chain of custody, so it withstands scrutiny in an HR proceeding, arbitration, or court. Where a matter crosses into computer or device evidence, our licensed investigator can also serve as a computer-forensics expert witness, giving decision-makers one accountable partner from first suspicion through testimony.
