Flannery | Georgalis has significant experience conducting internal investigations on behalf of public and private companies of all sizes. We understand that in corporate criminal and parallel civil matters, conducting a comprehensive internal investigation is critically necessary to securing a favorable resolution with prosecutors and regulators. Having successfully handled numerous complex investigations both as federal prosecutors and defense counsel, we know how to conduct a thorough, well-managed corporate investigation at a fraction of the cost larger firms charge for similar engagements. Most importantly, when the investigation is complete, we have the experience and know-how to effectively communicate with prosecutors and regulators to secure favorable outcomes.
