Investigations & Case Direction
Defensible scope. Controlled collection. Decision-grade reporting.
Investigations & Case Direction is a governed engagement for corporate, litigation, and sensitive matters. We establish the investigative mandate, define boundaries, and control collection so findings remain defensible.
Where legal exposure is anticipated, we operate counsel-first and privilege-aware, structuring work so decisions can be justified to boards, regulators, and courts. FCSO
Mandate
- Define investigative scope, objectives, and decision requirements.
- Design collection plans tied to specific hypotheses and risk questions.
- Preserve provenance and chain-of-custody for sensitive material.
- Deliver structured reporting with sourcing, assumptions, and confidence.
- Coordinate disclosure posture with counsel where required.
Common Triggers
- Allegations involving senior leadership, fiduciary duty, or misconduct.
- Insider risk, fraud indicators, or suspicious external relationships.
- Pre-litigation fact development or parallel internal inquiry.
- Cross-border matters where documentation quality is non-negotiable.
- Prior investigative efforts that produced noise instead of findings.
When the environment is already volatile—leaks, media attention, or imminent action—this engagement may be paired with an incident cadence to keep decisions aligned and prevent uncontrolled escalation. Crisis Response
