INVESTIGATIONS AND AUDITS
We assist companies, law firms, associations, not-for-profits and individuals in conducting investigations into possible illegal and criminal conduct against them.
Such assistance includes a review of privacy considerations, organizing a preliminary investigation, consideration of technical-legal issues, consideration about the preservation of privileges and related conflicts, and other important matters to consider in advance of and during any investigation.
We assist companies in undertaking special investigations and periodic audits to ensure that violations of law are not taking place in a company, including antitrust, intellectual property, and privacy audits. In so doing, we can often head off potential disputes by providing more careful guidance and, when appropriate, by raising the conduct in order to take care of the problem before it escalates in seriousness and financial impact.
Our work also deals with auditing and internal investigations of sensitive issues. Cliff Potter has conducted such audits and investigations for decades and have the knowledge, sensitivity and care required to ensure that corporate activities are not interrupted and that your confidentiality is preserved.
We help conduct audits of existing and anticipated IP assets, rights and obligations, including those involved in on-going relationships and transactions. We also help clients improve systems designed to ensure the protection and exploitation of the identified IP, including protective guidelines and procedures designed to ensure required security is met in order to preserve intangible assets.
