Regulatory Compliance Research
Since 1981, HAI | Legal has provided research in support of federal, state, and local compliance and enforcement responses.
Top national and regional law firms trust HAI | Legal to undertake critical and time-sensitive research tasks with discretion and efficiency.
Our research findings have been used by attorneys to respond to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Section 104(e) information requests under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly referred to as Superfund), as well as state and local environmental information reporting and compliance requests. Other clients have engaged us to prepare general site histories in support of real estate transactions or corporate succession and due diligence research in support of M&A transactions.
HAI | Legal has also been engaged by top U.S. and European banks and financial institutions to support the preparation of economic disclosure statements in order to comply with local and city ordinances requiring the disclosure of slavery-era business connections.
HAI | Legal has completed more than 1,400 historical research investigations—we have extensive experience in delivering insight and perspective in support of the most complex legal matters.
Other Capabilities
Start Your Research Investigation
Prior to accepting new engagements, HAI | Legal undertakes a standard conflicts check to ensure that we are free and clear to work on your matter.
For a conflicts check we will typically need the following information:
- Your ultimate client
- Adverse parties
- Named co-defendants (if potentially adverse)
- Name of specific sites (if applicable)
- Type of legal or regulatory matter
- Case citation for the legal matter (if available)
Once we confirm that we are clear to work on the matter, HAI | Legal will schedule a project briefing to discuss scope and potential level of effort.
