Discreet Executive Misconduct Investigations

Fact-Finding for Executive and Board-Level Matters

Executive investigations are sensitive workplace investigations requiring discretion, neutrality, and experience handling high-level personnel matters. These inquiries are often initiated in response to allegations of harassment, discrimination, or misconduct, or concerns raised by whistleblowers. 


When allegations arise against C-suite leaders, your organization needs fast, confidential answers. Executive misconduct allegations can threaten your company's stability, shareholder confidence, and public reputation. Whether you're a board member, general counsel, or Human Resources Director, you need an experienced private investigator who understands the high stakes and sensitivity of investigating top leadership.  


At Allen Morris Investigations LLC, we specialize in discreet, professional investigations into executive-level wrongdoing. Our former law enforcement and compliance officer investigators have conducted dozens of C-suite investigations for organizations ranging from mid-size companies to Fortune 500 corporations. 

Scope of Services


We investigate complex leadership and executive issues, including:


  • Alleged misconduct or ethical breaches by senior management or board members
     
  • Retaliation or abuse of authority involving leadership
     
  • Conflicts of interest or misuse of organizational resources
     
  • Violations of company policy, governance standards, or fiduciary duties
     
  • Allegations involving senior administrators in higher education under Title IX
     

Our process maintains strict confidentiality while ensuring reliable, fact-based outcomes.
