The work

What the law department actually asks for.

  • Internal investigation support

    Background, social, and field workups in support of internal investigations — employee misconduct, theft, policy violations, harassment, IP leak, with online harassment & threat attribution when the source is anonymous. Engagements run under privilege when directed by counsel.

  • Third-party & vendor diligence

    Pre-engagement diligence on vendors, counterparties, and third-party intermediaries. Identity, criminal, civil, watchlist, regulatory, and adverse-media screening. Beneficial-ownership mapping on opaque structures.

    Service overview →

  • Board & officer appointment diligence

    Pre-appointment diligence on directors, officers, and key advisors — prior-litigation surface, regulatory and enforcement history, and reputational signals to inform board and governance decisions.

  • Anti-corruption diligence

    FCPA and UK Bribery Act-aligned third-party diligence — PEP identification, beneficial-ownership unwinding, adverse-media screening, and source-of-wealth signals on international counterparties.

    Service overview →

  • IP & trade secret leak investigation

    Departing-employee investigation, post-employment activity documentation, and social media archive capture — supporting injunctive-relief motions and damages assessment.

  • Whistleblower & hotline complaint investigation

    Subject workups and background investigation in support of internal whistleblower and hotline-complaint review. Discreet, analyst-verified, with chain-of-custody documentation preserved for downstream regulatory or litigation use.

FAQ

For corporate counsel, specifically.

Can OnTrial run an internal investigation under attorney work product?
Yes. Engagements run at the direction of counsel can be framed as work product. OnTrial supports work-product formatting on request and operates with documented chain of custody so findings hold up if disclosure later becomes appropriate.
Does OnTrial meet outside counsel guideline AI use provisions?
Yes. Client data is never used to train any model. Human-in-the-loop on every finding. Auditable workflows with documented chain of custody. Built specifically to satisfy the AI-use and vendor-management provisions in modern OCG — see AI Governance.
Can OnTrial support FCPA / anti-corruption third-party diligence?
Yes. Level 2 — Enhanced Business Intelligence is a custom-scope engagement, quoted individually: discreet source inquiries, open-source digital analysis, beneficial-ownership and OFAC 50 Percent Rule analysis, ground-truth verification, and an intelligence briefing with dossier. The timeline is agreed at scoping. Defensible for regulator and audit review.
Is OnTrial available for confidential and sensitive matters?
Yes. Discretion is the operating principle — operator identities are not published. SOC 2-aligned controls, zero data retention on AI processing inputs, and granular access control are built for matters that require ethical-wall enforcement.
