Corporate Investigations

In a competitive corporate environment, the act of disseminating intellectual property from inside or outside an organization can do great harm to a company. In many cases, companies do not have protocol in place to discover and act upon this type of infringement. TIN conducts IP investigations in order to determine the source(s) and methodologies of these types of infringements, the magnitude of the breech and the opportunity for civil and/or criminal prosecution.

Initially, TIN recommends a review of all relevant and/or questionable records, transactions, invoices, deposits, receipts, etc. in order to establish that monetary losses have in fact occurred. It is also prudent to conduct a comprehensive background investigation(s) of all suspected employee(s), managers, etc. in order to identify those who have historically demonstrated a propensity to conduct acts of theft, fraud, embezzlement, etc.

With client authorization, TIN may also initiate covert/mobile surveillance, undercover operations, non-financial assets and financial account searches and/or employee/manager interviews for purposes of identifying individuals responsible for and methodologies utilized which contributed to the company losses.
