Background Check Revealed Risky Litigation

On behalf of an investment company client, LexPro Research conducted due diligence and background research on three executives of a wireless technology company. Although none of the executives were personally involved in adverse proceedings and no research was specifically requested on the company, during the course of the work LexPro Research determined the company was involved in several significant civil litigation cases. Specifically, a former co-founder was suing the company and several investment groups for fraud and breach of contract. Furthermore, a former employee had sued the company for wrongful termination claiming the company created a hostile workplace and constructively terminated her after she alleged a co-worker had sexually assaulted her.
