Stroz Friedberg Investigations (SFI) is distinguished by its effectiveness and professionalism in conducting corporate investigations, forensic accounting, due diligence, and background checks. Our service to the courts as Special Masters and Monitors is also renowned, in significant confidential matters as well as in affairs of extraordinarily high public interest, such as the Bernard Madoff case.
The SFI team marshals decades of investigatory experience as former federal law enforcement officials, in-house investigators for large financial firms, and outside corporate investigators. SFI’s corporate investigations range from embezzlement and fraud to workplace misconduct; from foreign corrupt payments and money laundering to leaks of confidential information; and from Ponzi, insider trading and illegal short-selling schemes to cases of anonymous harassment.
Our professionals skillfully conduct investigations, locate witnesses, develop information regarding witness credibility, assess the strength of financial and electronic evidence, perform background checks—from basic to plenary—and reliably ascertain the facts that may be pivotal in internal inquiries and in civil or criminal cases. They bring particular expertise in conducting critical interviews of subjects and witnesses—a subtle art that can make or break a case, depending on how it is practiced. To these strengths, SFI investigators add their unparalleled skills interpreting dozens of publicly available databases that can yield the pertinent evidence and useful information upon which successful investigations often hinge.
Our multi-disciplinary investigative teams assure our clients of the most comprehensive and expert response to matters large and small, delivering a higher level of client care and support: not only does SFI address the immediate case at hand, but we advise on strategies for prevention, remediation, and improvement.
