You received an email from an employee on the sales team alleging that several high-performers in the sales force are paying kickbacks to doctors who agree to prescribe one of the firm's most popular products. The email contained no further details or documentation. Additionally, the employee has been the lowest performer in the sales force for the last year. The employee's supervisor does have plans to terminate him the following week (the end of the quarter) and has worked with our department to ensure that the employee's file contains all of the relevant documentation, including productivity reports and prior warning letters. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of either you or one of your subordinates conduct the investigation as opposed to outside counsel?
