Summary:
"In the wake of highly publicized corporate shake-ups, internal investigations have gained national prominence and established themselves as an important tool of management. This trend offers stimulating and challenging opportunities to lawyers, both inside and outside counsel, retained to conduct internal investigations. However, this delicate and complex task carries potential traps and pitfalls for those involved. [This book] guides you through the steps necessary to conduct a proper and thorough legal investigation. Each chapter covers one aspect of conducting an investigation, clearly describing and advising you on the methods and skills involved, while providing you with practical tips on anticipating, recognizing, and avoiding the traps you are certain to encounter. This in-depth guide will help you: determine whether an internal investigation needs to take place; conduct effective employee interviews; organize and review documents pertinent to the internal investigation; understand employees' rights throughout the investigation; coordinate parallel criminal and civil proceedings that may arise in connection with or in response to the internal investigation; decide whether and what to disclose to government agencies; and understand the context of specialized circumstances in internal investigations, including shareholder litigation, environmental actions, securities cases, and government contract investigations."--
