Internal Investigations

Organizations today face increasing scrutiny from regulators, employees, shareholders, and the public. When concerns arise within a business, educational institution, or professional organization, a prompt and credible internal investigation can be critical to protecting both integrity and reputation. Nesenoff & Miltenberg conducts and defends internal investigations with discretion, independence, and strategic focus.

Independent, Informed, and Confidential

Our attorneys are often engaged to investigate allegations of misconduct, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, or ethical violations. We also represent executives, professionals, and employees who are the subjects of such investigations. We bring to each matter a clear understanding of the sensitivities involved, balancing transparency and confidentiality while maintaining credibility with all stakeholders.

We work with management, boards, and counsel to define the scope of the investigation, gather and analyze evidence, conduct interviews, and prepare findings and recommendations. Our goal is to ensure that the process is both thorough and defensible, with clear documentation that can withstand external review if necessary.

Experience Across Sectors

Nesenoff & Miltenberg’s attorneys are experienced in managing and defending internal investigations in corporate, higher education, and healthcare settings. Our team includes lawyers experienced in employment, professional discipline, and regulatory compliance matters, allowing us to address not only what occurred, but what must happen next to mitigate risk and prevent recurrence.

Protecting Reputations and Reducing Exposure

An effective internal investigation can resolve issues before they escalate to litigation, regulatory enforcement, or public disclosure. We help clients respond quickly and decisively while safeguarding confidentiality, legal privilege, and institutional integrity.

Whether engaged to conduct an independent review or to defend an individual or entity under investigation, Nesenoff & Miltenberg brings judgment, discretion, and experience to every stage of the process.
