Corporate Integrity · Est. 2024

Quiet. Defensible.
Court‑ready.

Boutique corporate investigations for the issues that can't go through HR alone.

§ ILines of service

Four practice areas.
One standard of evidence.

Corporate-only. Every engagement built around the same principle: discreet inquiry, sourced product.

/01Pre-employment · Board · High-trust roles

Executive Due Diligence

A defensible portrait of who you are about to trust with the company — not a $35 records check.

  • 01Credential & litigation verification
  • 02Undisclosed business interests
  • 03Reputational & adverse-media review
Practice 01
/02Harassment · Fraud · IP theft

Internal Investigations

When the complaint involves someone above HR — or carries litigation exposure — an independent investigator is no longer optional.

  • 01Allegations against senior leadership
  • 02Internal fraud & conflicts of interest
  • 03Data exfiltration at offboarding
Practice 02
/03FCPA · UBO discovery · PEP screening

Vendor & Third-Party Integrity

Before the signature. We unwind shell structures, surface real beneficial owners, and flag PEP exposure.

  • 01Shell company unmasking
  • 02Beneficial-ownership mapping
  • 03PEP & sanctions exposure
Practice 03
/04Civil litigation · Asset tracing

Litigation Support

The investigative arm of trial counsel — witness location, post-judgment tracing, opposing-party intelligence.

  • 01Witness location & interview support
  • 02Post-judgment asset tracing
  • 03Trial-exhibit-grade documentation
Practice 04
§ IIThe standard

How we work — and why it holds up.

Speed without defensibility is malpractice. We protect both — through method, not heroics.

i

Privileged intake

Scope and ethical constraints framed under counsel — before a single record is pulled.

ii

Source-of-record collection

Court records, registries, licensed brokers. Every artifact hashed and timestamped.

iii

Human inquiry

Senior investigator on the ground. No pretexting, no fake profiles, no grey techniques.

iv

Defensible work product

Cited findings, chain-of-custody log, an investigator deposable on every line.

Operating boundaries

If a technique would create counterclaim exposure for the client, we don't use it.
