Corporate Succession Research
Corporate history, fact witness identification, and former employee searches.
History Associates’ Litigation Support team has completed more than 1,500 historical research investigations. We have extensive experience delivering perspective and insight in support of the most complex legal matters, and our legal clients count on us with confidence.
The Litigation Support team provides detailed research and documentation of a company’s history, tracing predecessors and successors through mergers, acquisitions, and ownership changes. This historical mapping aids in understanding the evolution of a company, characterizing legacy liabilities, and informing strategic decisions. Additional services entail identifying former employees and potential fact witnesses, compiling this information in a spreadsheet matrix, and ascertaining whether key employees are currently living or deceased. Utilizing our private investigator network, HAI can then connect our clients with potential fact witnesses.
Let us be your litigation support solution.
