Internal Investigations

In the face of significant and unprecedented challenges, Taft helps clients carry out prompt, comprehensive, and unbiased investigations into claims of misconduct reported by government regulators and current or former employees, among others. We pinpoint, scrutinize, and address crucial matters before they escalate into more severe consequences for our clients, erode the trust of stakeholders both within and outside the organization, and harm your reputation.

Our attorneys are equipped with the knowledge, experience, and resources necessary to guide you through all manners of investigations and enforcement proceedings. We provide strategic and actionable advice to help clients foresee and respond effectively to regulatory inquiries and whistleblower allegations, thereby reducing potential risks.

Every Matter is a Unique Matter

Taft’s Internal Investigations team meticulously assesses and analyzes the facts, evaluates the risks, and formulates a prompt, customized response. With each case, we undertake a thorough and methodical approach, dedicating time to comprehend and evaluate each scenario before arriving at considered, informed conclusions and suitable recommendations. Whether it’s a high-profile issue concerning an educational entity or an internal probe involving a government official, our team has steered clients through all relevant phases that may arise from accusations of wrongdoing by an organization’s leadership or staff — this includes internal investigations, governmental inquiries, regulatory enforcement proceedings, legal disputes, crisis management, and subsequent remediation measures.

Our legal team aids in making any required disclosures and counsels on communication strategies with internal and external stakeholders, the public, and the media. We assist in the creation and refinement of company policies, pinpoint areas for enhancement, develop tailored training initiatives, and recommend measures to address issues and lessen future risk exposure.
