Legal Representation For Board And Internal Investigations
Last updated on August 10, 2026
Allegations of wrongdoing against employees and officials are becoming more common across both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. These allegations can range from fraud and financial crime to sexual harassment and other violations of law or policy, and they may arise from government reports, whistleblower complaints or internal audits.
Whether you represent an organization working to address misconduct or you are the employee or official under scrutiny, having experienced legal counsel can make a real difference in how the process unfolds. Our attorneys at Steve Harvey Law, LLC, are ready to help. The outcomes can range from a full clearance of all allegations to an acceptable resolution such as resignation without further action. In cases where criminal charges or civil litigation become unavoidable, the right legal guidance remains just as important.
How We Approach Internal Investigations
While the lawyers at Steve Harvey Law, LLC, have extensive experience conducting corporate investigations, we more frequently represent employees and officials who are the subject of an investigation. Our role is to step in quickly, get up to speed on the background facts and guide our clients through the process – all while helping them continue their work as normally as possible.
Our work in these matters typically includes:
- Reviewing and analyzing relevant evidence, including internal emails and text messages
- Coordinating and communicating with the attorneys conducting the investigation
- Advising clients on how to respond appropriately to requests and interviews
- Identifying risks and developing strategies to minimize potential negative consequences
The advice we provide throughout the process is where we add the greatest value. This work calls for candor, a clear understanding of what is realistic and a careful balance between what is just and what is achievable. It is a skill that only comes through years of hands-on experience. Our goal in every matter is to strengthen our client’s position and help them reach a favorable outcome.
Who We Represent
Our experience comes from decades of representing and advising executive clients facing charges and accusations across a wide range of industries and institutions. While the identity of every client remains strictly confidential, we have represented:
- Senior officials at public and private universities
- Leaders and staff at nonprofit human service organizations
- Executives and employees at private companies of all sizes
Most of our clients come to us through referrals from existing clients or through longstanding relationships within the legal community. We take time to understand each client’s situation and goals before building a strategy around their specific needs.
Do Not Face This Process Without Experienced Counsel
If you are facing an internal investigation – or even the possibility of one – engaging experienced counsel early can shape how things unfold. At Steve Harvey Law, LLC, we help clients navigate the process, manage risk and address corporate compliance concerns while protecting their professional reputation and long-term interests.
Depending on your contractual arrangement with your organization, they may have an obligation to cover your legal fees. We discuss this further on our Indemnification and Advancement page.
The earlier you bring counsel in, the better positioned you will be to avoid unnecessary complications and work toward a favorable outcome. Contact our Philadelphia office at 215-907-7313 to discuss your situation.
