Internal Investigations

Haynes Boone attorneys have decades of experience handling internal investigations for clients across various industries.  When you receive an allegation of misconduct, we have the experience necessary to conduct an appropriately-scoped internal investigation and advise regarding next steps.  Our lawyers regularly handle investigations of allegations from internal or whistleblower complaints, the government, the media, or other third-party sources, and can also skillfully handle defense of any ensuing government investigation or other litigation.  Additionally, the group counsels clients on corporate governance, remediation, self-disclosure, and re-payment, depending on the issue and the needs of the client.

Our experience includes conducting independent investigations on behalf of audit committees, special litigation committees and independent directors, as well as conducting confidential internal investigations on behalf of corporate clients or management.  We also represent individual directors, officers and executives if they are subjects of internal investigations.  Our investigation team works closely with the firm’s other esteemed practice groups in order to get the client the results it needs to move forward quickly and efficiently.
