Legal and Ethical Issues of Using Private Investigators

 

Gain a better understanding of using a private investigator in the legal field and the ethical and legal considerations that could come along with it.

Working with private investigators can be a valuable tool for attorneys in various areas of practice. Private investigators can bring their unique expertise to gather useful intelligence that may form the foundation of a case, inform litigation strategies, or guide business decisions for a client entity. However, in order to generate high quality and actionable intelligence, it is vital that supervising attorneys understand the legal and ethical minefields that exist when working with private investigators. This topic outlines the legal and ethical issues that are most likely to arise when supervising private investigative work, along with mitigative measures that may be taken to reduce attendant risk. The material covers specific investigative techniques that are most commonly used in support of legal work, as well as limits on the use of certain categories of information. An understanding of these common issues is critical to attorneys seeking to contract private investigators.
