Corporate Investigations

Workplace theft, employee fraud, due diligence, and IP investigations for DFW businesses. Licensed Texas investigators. Discreet. Court-ready.

Corporate investigations require a different toolkit than personal cases — discretion at scale, financial analysis, digital forensics, and an understanding of how findings will be used internally, in litigation, or in HR proceedings. EJR Agency has supported Dallas-Fort Worth businesses, law firms, and corporate counsel for over 40 years across the full range of corporate investigative work.

We investigate employee theft and embezzlement, intellectual property leaks, workplace harassment claims, executive misconduct, vendor fraud, and pre-employment due diligence on senior hires. We support M&A due diligence with background investigations on principals and verification of representations. We work with corporate counsel on litigation support and pre-litigation fact-finding.

Every corporate investigation balances thoroughness with discretion. Investigations are scoped to avoid alerting subjects, evidence is documented to admissibility standards, and reports are formatted for internal HR use, board presentation, or litigation support depending on the engagement. We work seamlessly with in-house counsel and outside firms.

Common Case Scenarios

Suspected Embezzlement

A DFW business notices financial irregularities pointing to an employee with access to company accounts. EJR conducts a discreet investigation — financial analysis, surveillance, witness interviews — to document the scope of theft before HR or legal action.

Departing Executive IP Concerns

A senior executive resigns to join a competitor. The company needs to verify whether confidential information left with them. EJR conducts a forensic review of communications, downloads, and post-departure activity to document any breach.

M&A Due Diligence

A DFW company is acquiring a smaller firm. Before closing, they need verified background information on the principals and confirmation of representations made during negotiations. EJR delivers a comprehensive due diligence package within the deal timeline.

Request Corporate Investigation

When a corporate concern requires investigation, the path forward depends on what the facts actually are. EJR delivers documented findings that support whatever decision your legal and HR teams need to make.

Corporate Investigations: Frequently Asked Questions

How discreet are corporate investigations?

Discretion is foundational. Subjects of corporate investigations almost never know an investigation is underway until the company decides to act on findings. EJR uses surveillance, public records, and financial analysis methods that leave no trace. Internal investigations are coordinated with HR and legal counsel to ensure information control.

Can findings from a corporate investigation be used in court?

Yes, when collected using legal methods. EJR investigators document evidence to chain-of-custody standards admissible in Texas civil and criminal proceedings. Many corporate investigations begin as internal HR matters and later become litigation — our work is built from day one to support whichever path the case takes.

What does a corporate investigation cost?

Corporate investigation costs vary widely by scope. Background investigations on individual executives may run a few thousand dollars. Multi-week embezzlement investigations involving financial analysis, surveillance, and witness interviews can run substantially more. EJR provides a scoped estimate during the initial consultation with corporate counsel or in-house legal.

Do you work directly with in-house counsel?

Yes. EJR routinely works with in-house legal teams, outside counsel, and HR leadership. Engagement structures vary — some companies retain us through outside counsel for privilege protection, others engage us directly with internal legal oversight. We adapt to the structure your legal team prefers.

How long do corporate investigations typically take?

Background investigations and due diligence work typically resolve in 1-2 weeks. Embezzlement and fraud investigations involving financial analysis and surveillance can take 4-12 weeks. We provide a scoped timeline during the initial consultation and update regularly as the investigation progresses.

Can you investigate workplace harassment claims?

Yes. EJR conducts neutral, third-party workplace harassment investigations on behalf of HR departments and outside counsel. Our investigators are trained in interview techniques that elicit accurate accounts without leading witnesses, and findings are documented to support HR action or potential litigation.

Corporate Investigations Across DFW

Corporate investigations extend wherever the case takes them — from DFW headquarters offices to Texas branch locations to subjects who relocated nationwide after a workplace incident.
