Government and
Internal Investigations
It is scary, and can be overwhelming, when the government comes knocking on a company’s door, or when an individual employee engages in wrongdoing that a company needs to investigate. In both cases, hiring diligent, experienced investigators who can work with regulators can be a critical step.
Dynamis attorneys are skilled in conducting investigations, drilling down on malfeasance, recommending next steps, and communicating with the government where needed. Dynamis attorneys work nationwide and overseas, including acting as counsel in wide-scale Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations.
Dynamis Experience and Results
