Government investigators rely on the element of surprise.

When a team of state or federal agents shows up unexpectedly with a search warrant, subpoena or civil investigative demand, it’s easy to panic. Make the wrong decision at this pressure-packed time, and you can put yourself or your company at a strategic disadvantage, or worse.
