CORPORATE INVESTIGATIONS & DUE DILIGENCE

Trusted intelligence for high-stakes business decisions

R&D Investigations conducts corporate investigations that help companies reduce risk and confidently make critical business decisions. Our corporate investigators quickly and thoroughly uncover the facts that matter in situations like fraud, theft, due diligence investigations, or when hiring a new executive.

Corporate & Business Investigation Services

Manufacturers invest millions of dollars in research and development of new products before introducing those products into the market for sale. Inferior counterfeit products can irrevocably damage these sizable investments. Our intellectual property investigators are adept at handling these investigations to uncover and address issues related to intellectual property misuse, theft, or infringement, such as trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets.

Pre-employment screenings can protect your business and employees. Our pre-employment screening services will help you make informed hiring decisions, verify candidate claims, ensure a strong fit for the job and company culture, and minimize potential legal and financial risks.

When you discover that an employee might be stealing from your business, it is critical to investigate – and it’s even more important to investigate properly. Corporate theft cases are often extremely sensitive matters that require the utmost confidentiality and discretion. We have deep experience gathering evidence, conducting interviews, and working with the appropriate law enforcement agencies when necessary to discreetly investigate these matters and uncover the truth. 

When an allegation or evidence of misconduct comes to light, a transparent and detailed corporate fraud investigation is critical. Our team of experienced corporate fraud investigators will conduct a thorough examination of suspected fraudulent activities, gather evidence, and identify perpetrators so that you can protect your business.

If a client is considering purchasing a business or hiring a key executive, the required investigation goes far beyond simple records collection. Corporate due diligence investigations are tailored to the specifics of a situation and leave no stone unturned. Due diligence clients must have all the facts so they can proceed with confidence and limit surprises.

Harassment or discrimination suits can be especially damaging to corporate clients, and in many cases, these turn out to be frivolous cases without merit. Rather than allowing your insurance carrier to simply pay out a nuisance settlement to avoid litigation, R&D Investigations can help you investigate harassment claims. 

We look into the background and history of the accuser(s), review the timeline of allegations, and carefully interview potential witnesses. This review often identifies changes your company should make internally and whether or not the allegations have merit.

When looking to hire a candidate for a high-level position, you must go beyond a standard pre-employment screening. R&D Investigations performs executive background checks designed to verify information, uncover potential risks, and ensure the candidate’s suitability for a high-level leadership role. These checks help determine whether you can trust the candidate to make executive decisions and access sensitive corporate information.

R&D Investigations is one of only a few companies certified and approved by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to perform mandated annual background and license checks for employees in certain industries. This includes individuals who work with vulnerable populations, have access to company assets or funds of an elderly or incapacitated individual, or operate commercial vehicles. Our team delivers these compliance checks quickly and cost-effectively.

R&D Investigations is the only investigative member of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association (MLBA). We support bars, restaurants, and liquor stores in identifying theft, misconduct, and compliance issues. At your request, our team conducts undercover corporate investigations to observe ID checks, alcoholic beverage pouring practices, and service and sanitation quality. Findings are documented in a detailed report to help owners take corrective action and reduce loss.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I asked R&D Agency to conduct a background check on an individual who had access to vulnerable adults. The report was comprehensive and returned quickly. With this information, I was able to ensure the person in question was no longer allowed to attend events with at-risk individuals. I would highly recommend R&D’s background and investigative services.

Mark, Private Party

R&D Agency is my go-to investigative agency for claims investigations. They really care about their clients and about the quality of their work, and they have a proven track record of getting results.

Rebecca, Senior Claims Examiner

I have worked with R&D Agency on several workers’ compensation cases and have consistently been impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and high-quality surveillance efforts. Their work has been instrumental in helping me and my clients evaluate claims and effectively defend claims. Highly recommended!

Beth, Defense Attorney
