Overview
Lawyers employ private investigations firms for a variety of purposes: due diligence; background investigations of C-Suite executives and board members; research on and investigation of fact and expert witnesses; and examination of opposing parties in civil and criminal matters, among others. Lawyers are also responsible for acts of the investigators they hire, and the use of private investigators implicates a growing range of legal and ethical issues. Yet very few lawyers have sufficient knowledge, training or experience to properly manage investigators.
