Internal Investigations
Imagine a normal day like any other. The next thing you know, there is a knock at the door and you are being served with a search warrant issued by a governmental agency. The last thing any individual or business wants is to be investigated and prosecuted by the government. Individuals and business owners are often blindsided by these allegations. Drumheller, Hollingsworth & Monthy, LLP can help answer the door and oversee internal investigations. We have experience identifying and addressing potential problems before they attract the attention of law enforcement, and we can assist clients as they respond to governmental investigations.
Why Drumheller, Hollingsworth & Monthy, LLP?
Investigations of any kind can be extremely damaging to a company. Not only can they sully good reputations, but they can cause stock prices to plummet, contracts to fall through, and employees to jump ship. The attorneys at Drumheller, Hollingsworth & Monthy, LLP understand that all investigations need to be handled as discreetly as possible to best preserve a company’s value.
We handle a wide variety of corporate and employee misconduct investigations including:
- Fraudulent Business Practices
- Corporate Theft
- Discrimination
- Embezzlement
- Employee Misconduct
- Money Laundering
- Sexual Harassment
- Violence in the Workplace
Our team of lawyers is uniquely suited to handle your internal investigations because two of our founding partners spent several years as Assistant District Attorneys conducting investigations and prosecuting a number of different criminal activities, and the third founding partner was trained in a large international law firm defending against such probes. With experience on both sides of the docket, our attorneys can bring perspective to cases that require a delicate touch.
