The number of internal investigations that legal departments find themselves grappling with may be on the rise at a time when a period of enforced remote working is making it more difficult to conduct those processes than ever before.
On Wednesday, the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery hosted a webinar titled "Best Practices and Tactics for Conducting an Internal Investigation in the COVID-19 Era" and one of the biggest takeaways was that the pandemic opens the door to a whole host of investigative activity.
Panelist Dana McSherry, a partner at McDermott, pointed to the greater capacity for employee misconduct when working remotely. She also noted that the Department of Justice will likely be on high alert for COVID-19-related abuses, such as the misuse of stimulus money.
