Engagements

Selected research and litigation-support work, described in general terms to protect client and subject confidentiality.

Confidential witnesses and interviews

Located and approached sensitive sources for litigation teams, including individuals who had left public-sector and corporate roles. Conducted preliminary interviews, verified identities, and documented chain-of-contact so attorneys could evaluate credibility before deciding whether to depose or call a witness.

Biotech and pharmaceutical disputes

Tracked patent filings, FDA correspondence, clinical-trial records, and regulatory complaints for counsel in life-sciences litigation. Identified expert candidates and mapped relationships between researchers, institutions, and funding sources.

Securities and shareholder litigation

Researched public filings, executive histories, related-party transactions, and market disclosures for class-action and derivative matters. Helped counsel connect corporate events to trading patterns and draft discovery targets.

Foreign companies and cross-border assets

Traced offshore entities, beneficial owners, and asset movements through corporate registries, customs records, litigation databases, and open-source research. Worked under attorney direction to preserve privilege and avoid conflict with local data laws.

General private-investigation support

Handled skip tracing, background checks, asset discovery, and digital-footprint analysis for attorneys, individuals, and corporate clients. Delivered sourced memoranda with clear confidence levels and limitations noted.

Why clients trust this work

Confidentiality first Every matter is handled discreetly. Sources, subjects, and client identities are protected by default.
Documented methodology Research is tracked, sourced, and organized so findings hold up under scrutiny — in court or in print.
Real-world results 13+ years in newsrooms and litigation support, including a Pulitzer-recognized breaking-news team.

Background

Licensing note: I operate as an investigative researcher and litigation-support contractor. I am not a licensed private investigator in every state; where state law requires a license for specific activities, I partner with licensed agencies or work under attorney direction. Tell me about your jurisdiction and I’ll be upfront about what I can do directly.
