Collaborating closely with counsel to understand their objectives - whether assessing the credibility of an opponent’s claims, vetting witnesses, identifying and tracing assets, or understanding connections among groups of actors – the firm develops custom investigative strategies geared toward those ends.

Quinlan Partners brings to bear a deep understanding of the public record landscape and an expertise in conducting interviews with sensitive witnesses. This allows them to go straight to the source of the information most likely to be relevant to their clients, whether that source be a remote court archive, a disgruntled former employee, or an obscure online comment.

Quinlan Partners assists counsel by investigating allegations of commercial fraud, misconduct and corruption; tracing assets in connection with forthcoming or existing judgments; bolstering legal defense against criminal charges and regulatory investigations; and gathering facts to be used in legal complaints and rebuttals.
