Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

An employee departure may prompt questions about information use, new business affiliations, or competitive activity. A suspicion should be translated into specific facts that can be checked.

A focused approach

Coordinate the scope with counsel and the organization’s authorized technical team. Field investigation and public research can complement, but do not replace, appropriate analysis of company systems and records.

Points to address

  • Identify the information and time period of concern
  • Separate authorized access from suspected misuse
  • Document public activity without assuming private conduct

What the findings mean

A new role or business relationship is not proof of theft. The investigation should identify what the evidence supports and which questions remain for other specialists.
