Corporate Investigations:
Given that confidential and proprietary date plays significant part on corporate expansion and strategy there is always a case of the data and intellectual resource of the corporate entity being exposed to corporate espionage by competitors, employees and former employees.
We have experience in carrying out these investigations in coordination with management, third party investigators, to address legal issues following these violations within the organization. These investigations are typically initiated in response to allegations of misconduct, violations of company policies, or reports of illegal activities. The purpose of a corporate legal investigation is to gather facts, assess legal risks, and determine the appropriate course of action to address the situation.
The typical issues that arise from this process is:
i. Identifying the key witness and documents shedding light on the breach corporate data.
ii. Assessing the commercial consequences of the anti-company activities or third-party data theft.
iii. Assessing the legal remedies available to deal with the breach.
iv. Consequences of approaching judicial forum for legal recourse.
v. Internal policy changes that need to take place in the company to prevent reoccurrence of similar incidents, etc
vi. Reporting requirements to statutory bodies on data breach or theft.
vii. Contract assessment if the breach has taken place through an existing vendor or shareholder or JV partner.
Overall, a corporate legal investigation plays a crucial role in protecting the company’s reputation, mitigating legal risks, within the organization. By conducting thorough investigations, companies can address potential legal issues proactively and prevent future misconduct, ultimately safeguarding their business operations and stakeholders.
