Investigated claims from former employee to mitigate extortion attempt

Investigated claims from former employee to mitigate extortion attempt

A former employee raised specious allegations of personal misconduct and attempted to extort a private equity firm founder. We were retained to investigate the claims and the former employee and mitigate the extortion attempt. The work included intensive computer forensics and electronic evidence review, street-level investigative initiatives, and extensive investigative research and analysis. Our work allowed our client to settle with the former employee on favorable terms.
