The Legal Anatomy of a Corporate Investigation
When a corporate investigation begins, the first decision is not where to look but how to structure the process. Privilege, evidence, and reputation must be protected simultaneously. Counsel who approach investigations methodically gain clarity, credibility, and control.
Beyond Background Checks: Building a Defensible Due Diligence Framework
Basic background checks miss what matters most. Influence networks, beneficial ownership, and jurisdictional exposure define modern risk. A defensible due diligence process combines intelligence, documentation, and context to withstand scrutiny.
Internal Risk, External Consequences: Legal Blind Spots in Security Governance
Data leaks, insider threats, and procedural lapses rarely begin with malice. They begin with weak oversight. A holistic security review helps corporate counsel map where internal risk intersects with legal exposure before regulators or litigants do.
The Corporate Security Audit: Seeing the Whole Picture
Most organizations assess security through a single lens such as IT, physical access, or compliance. A holistic audit goes further. It examines how those systems interact, how information flows, and where human behavior introduces risk. For legal and compliance teams, this integrated approach can reveal weaknesses before they appear in discovery or litigation.
