A company which suspects that its employees
or officers have engaged in misconduct
- whether violations of the securities
laws, violations of government contract
rules, or other wrongdoing - must give
serious consideration to conducting an
internal investigation. Good counsel can
help you determine the consequences on
any public reporting obligations, decide
whether you should (or determine if you
must) self-report the conduct to the government,
and help you conduct an internal investigation
in a manner that best preserves your privileges
and options. Experienced lawyers can often
help persuade prosecutors or other government
authorities to decline adverse action,
or at least to minimize any adverse action
that is taken. They can also recommend
remedial actions, personnel changes, or
new compliance programs to prevent similar
events from happening again.
