All too often when the new media writes about investigators, they limit their scope to the gumshoe variety (case in point, this Washington Post Express article from a few days ago) with all the typical cultural references in tow.

Nothing wrong with that, per say. After all, these are the types of private eyes that have captured the popular imagination in dime store pulp novels and classic films (my wife is currently going through a serious Magnum, P.I. phase, if you must know). There is, however, another realm of investigation that seldom gets much attention - that of the corporate P.I.

A recent article from The Hill balances the playing field a bit. While not delving too deeply into the nuts and bolts of an industry that occasionally finds itself under unwelcome scrutiny (pretexting, anyone?), the article nonetheless offers some interesting anecdotes on the breadth of work conducted by DC-area corporate investigators.

Kudos to Kevin Bogardus and The Hill for a great read that offers potential clients exposure to a number of local firms. I am proud to say that featured amongst the investigators metioned in the article are many folks whose work I know and can recommend, in particular Anthony Sartori, my former partner and now the main man at Caveat Research.
