# investigation research methods — Legal Counsel

For Legal Counsel, 'Investigation Research Methods' isn’t about *conducting* investigations like a detective, but expertly *analyzing* the results of others'. Daily work involves dissecting investigation reports – police files, internal HR probes, regulatory inquiries, forensic analyses – to assess legal implications for your client. This means understanding how evidence was gathered (chain of custody is critical!), what investigative techniques were used (interviews, surveillance, data analysis), and crucially, identifying potential flaws or biases that could impact admissibility in court or the strength of a case. Think due diligence on acquisitions where you're verifying claims about compliance, or defending against allegations requiring scrutiny of opposing counsel’s evidence.
