Investigative Support
The Simon Agency supports attorneys, HR departments, employers, businesses and private clients with litigation fact development, workplace and internal investigations, fraud inquiries, investigative due diligence and witness investigations. Each assignment begins with a defined question and a practical scope.
Three ways to engage us
Investigative work tied to the decision at hand.
We start with the question the client needs answered and the findings that would help them act. Engage TSA for one focused inquiry or ongoing support to counsel, an employer or a private client.
Investigative Due Diligence
Examine people, organizations, relationships, and reputation before a transaction, appointment, investment, or significant partnership.

Threat, Stalking & Public-Figure Investigations
Fact development for threatening attention, repeated unwanted contact, targeted harassment and impersonation affecting individuals and organizations.
Before and after the decision
Investigations are useful before a problem arises.
Due diligence can clarify an opportunity before a commitment. Fact development can clarify an allegation after a concern emerges.
Clients engage TSA ahead of key leadership appointments, transactions, important business relationships, and significant vendor decisions. They also retain us when an internal concern, disputed event, or legal matter needs disciplined investigation.
Corporate & Internal Investigations
Establish the facts around a business concern.
For general counsel, compliance, corporate security, boards, and executive leadership, an inquiry may require independent interviews, records review, corroboration, and careful documentation.
Matters that may warrant investigation
- Conduct allegations and policy concerns
- Leadership and workplace fact development
- Conflicts of interest and employee or vendor misconduct
- Suspected fraud or procurement irregularities requiring factual inquiry
We report documented findings, identify what can be corroborated, and make unanswered questions clear.
Investigative Due Diligence
Know more before making a consequential commitment.
Corporate, investment, and family-office decisions often turn on the people and relationships behind the proposal. TSA examines relevant records, relationships, and other information to identify material questions and context for the client to consider.
Business decisions we support
- Executive and key-person appointments in business or investment contexts
- Business-partner and significant vendor relationships
- Transactions and investment opportunities
- Reputation, integrity, and relationship-related concerns
Each engagement is scoped to the decision. Returning clients may request diligence across successive transactions or relationships.
Litigation & Law-Firm Support
Investigative support to counsel.
Outside and in-house counsel may retain TSA for fact development in a dispute, internal matter, or other legal assignment. The investigative question, reporting approach, and communication are defined with counsel.
Appropriately scoped work may include
- Public-record and background research
- Witness-related and field inquiries
- Interviews and documented fact development
- Research relevant to a litigation matter
TSA develops documented facts and reporting that counsel can use in the matter at hand.
Fraud & Financial Misconduct
Examine the conduct behind the concern.
Support for suspected fraud, misrepresentation, misuse of assets and disputed transactions. We review relevant records, develop factual timelines and conduct interviews within the agreed investigative scope.
Witness Investigations & Fact Development
Witness identification, location inquiries and interviews can clarify disputed accounts in litigation, employment matters and other appropriately scoped inquiries.
We document source information, distinguish corroborated facts from allegations and identify gaps that may require follow-up.
Who retains TSA
Direct support for business and legal teams.
Corporations may engage us directly through general counsel, compliance, corporate security, executive leadership, or a board. Outside counsel may direct an investigative assignment for a client. Private equity and other investment organizations, family offices, and qualified professional firms may seek diligence before a decision or fact development around a concern.
Our approach
Scope first. Document the work. Report what the facts support.
We clarify the question, identify useful sources, corroborate material findings where possible, and explain what the available information does and does not establish. Depending on the matter, the work may include interviews, records review, research, and field inquiries. We coordinate with counsel when counsel directs the assignment.
Tell us what you need to understand. We will discuss a practical scope, timing, and reporting approach.
Related but separately scoped
Investigation and protective intelligence answer different questions.
Investigative Support
What happened, who or what is involved, and what can the available facts support?
Protective Intelligence & Threat Assessment
What does available information mean for exposure and protective decisions?
Some matters call for both. An inquiry may establish the context of a concerning communication while protective intelligence informs a separate safety assessment and plan. Explore Risk Advisory
