When Are Corporate Internal Investigation Services Required?
Internal investigations by senior management may be required to ensure compliance with regulatory law or to discover the facts when the company is being investigated or has been accused of corporate wrongdoing by state or federal agencies.

Generally, it is recommended that internal investigations of these kinds be conducted by outside counsel.

Having outside counsel also preserves the integrity of the proceedings and maintains its confidentiality under attorney-client privilege.

We explain our role as corporate counsel and give proper "Upjohn warnings" that outline when attorney-client privilege will apply to disclosures by individuals.
