The Art of Corporate Espionage

Corporate espionage has had staggering effects on competitive economies across the globe. By "corporate espionage" we mean employees, partners, or competitors stealing money, materials, or secrets from a business. What Empire does is detect and eliminate the hidden threats to trade and personal secrets that make it possible — before the damage is done.

Because technology advances continuously, businesses have never been at more risk. Established in 1982, Empire Investigation has grown into one of the industry's global leaders — providing sophisticated, responsive, and discreet risk consulting and intelligence services. From larceny, skimming, and fraudulent disbursements to embezzlement, Empire thrives on countering the moves, and the potential moves, of its clients' adversaries.

Empire Investigation and its affiliates have worked on over 10,000 assignments in more than 20 countries. Under the direction of founder and CEO Robert Kresson, specialized teams are assembled to achieve each client's objectives. Because of the sensitive nature of the work, individual investigators are not identified — but their credentials are available upon request.

These investigations have resulted in the arrest and conviction of employees and others for crimes including industrial espionage, fraud, theft, and embezzlement. Empire has saved corporations millions of dollars in lost revenues and stolen secrets, and helped clients win favorable judgments in domestic disputes involving alimony, hidden assets, and custody.

A unique aspect of Empire Investigation is what happens once clients receive the proof they are looking for: Empire helps them decide what to do next. Expert behavioral and legal consultants are available to guide the decisions that follow the evidence.

We firmly believe that the hallmark of a quality investigation agency is the professional and confidential execution of our clients' needs — from the first phone call to the final decision.
