Conducting An Internal Investigation: Potential Legal Pitfalls and Pointers to Reduce Legal Risks

The legal industry continues to forecast an increased need for organizations to conduct internal investigations. Internal investigations are needed to address allegations in many areas including government fraud and False Claims Act issues; breaches of codes of ethics or internal policies; harassment and other employment concerns; and violations of state and federal laws in regulated industries. Indeed, government oversight and enforcement authorities expect companies to investigate allegations or suspicions of wrongdoing. However, there are a number of ways for an organization to trip up and exacerbate a potential issue, create legal liability where none existed or waste limited resources. Learn how a well conducted investigation can significantly reduce an organization’s legal liability and set the tone for the organization going forward. Join Butch Hulse and Donna McElroy as they address best practices:

• Defining the Scope of the Investigation: When, Who and How
• Developing the Work Plan
• Conducting Effective Witness Interviews
• Establishing and Protecting Attorney-Client Privilege
• Publishing the Results: To Whom, How
• Other Practical Considerations: Potential Legal Pitfalls and Pointers to Reduce Legal Risks
