Our Practice Areas

Independent & External Investigations

Offering Experience, Discretion and Sensitivity

Casner & Edwards’ Independent Investigations group provides thorough and efficient investigative work for matters involving complex factual and legal issues at both the state and federal levels. Our attorneys have significant experience conducting independent and external investigations ranging from sexual misconduct and Title IX investigations to claims of workplace discrimination and harassment.

Leaving an investigation to an independent third party allows you to concentrate on running your business and often lends added credibility and trust to the outcome. You can count on us to conduct investigations with experience, discretion and sensitivity with as little disruption to your business as possible.

Our independent investigations team is supported by the experience of our partners across the firm. Should an investigation result in litigation or other charges, our litigation team is standing by to aggressively handle your case.

Helping Uphold Your Reputation

Whether proactively, to mitigate undesirable consequences and avoid public or regulatory scrutiny, or reactively, to defend and uphold your reputation amidst controversy, we expertly and discreetly conduct internal investigations for:

  • Private and Public Employers
  • Nonprofit Organizations
  • Private Schools
  • Colleges and Universities
  • Individuals

Leveraging Diverse Experience

Illustrating our frontline experience in this area, we count within our ranks a former Massachusetts Attorney General and District Attorney, an Assistant Attorney General, a Senior Special Agent for the Department of Justice, a research analyst and police officer for the Boston Police Department and other former enforcement officials. Leveraging this public sector background, we maintain a nationwide network of contacts in federal and state government, and know how to cut through red tape.

Our Independent & External Investigations practice includes:

  • Sexual Misconduct Investigations
  • Workplace Discrimination and Harassment
  • Title IX Investigations
  • Business Ethics and Corporate Risk Management
  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
  • False Claims Act
