Intelligence and Investigations

 

Businesses have encountered growing numbers of disgruntled employees, vengeful ex-employees and ruthless competitors and distributors. These factors have resulted in a growing need for corporate investigations. International Trace determines the source and extent of the problem, develops information about the parties responsible, minimizes damage to the client and identifies effective measures to prevent further losses.

International Trace's business intelligence services provide reliable insight into the financial stability, capabilities and public reputation of competitors and potential business partners. We provide sophisticated investigations into intellectual property matters, and intelligence on companies and business entities, reporting on their history, creditworthiness, ownership and corporate structure, and the industries and countries in which they operate.

The International Trace investigations team is comprised of specialists from a wide range of disciplines, including law, law enforcement, intelligence, accounting, technology and management consulting. Working closely and confidentially with management and/or legal counsel, our investigators help to devise a strategy to address such problems as theft of trade secrets, threats and hostile acts, product diversion, grey market and counterfeit products, patent and trademark infringements, workplace threats and violence, and other employee issues.
