REAL EXPERIENCE. REAL INTELLIGENCE. REAL RESULTS.

Strategic, court-ready intelligence that strengthens your position before a lawsuit is filed. 

What Is a Pre-Suit Investigation

 

A Pre-Suit Investigation is one of the most strategic and multidimensional types of investigative work. It blends foresight with investigative depth.   Before discovery begins or a complaint is filed, a Pre-Suit Investigation equips your legal team with the critical facts and strategic insights needed to evaluate case viability, mitigate risk, and prepare with confidence.   


Our Pre-Suit Investigations help clients, attorneys, law firms, and general counsel:


  • Assess case strength and identify weaknesses before committing to litigation  
  • Locate and interview key witnesses early in the time 
  • Conduct deep background investigations on parties involved 
  • Perform asset searches to confirm solvency and enforceability 
  • Secure and preserve evidence before it disappears 
  • Research case facts and provide factual background and timeline to uncover potential counterclaims or red flags



Make your first move your smartest one.
