What is disorganization?
Disorganization, or more specifically client diversion (see also “client diversion“), is a dishonest practice aimed at capturing the clientele of a competing business. This can manifest as poaching employees, diverting clients, or disclosing trade secrets. Such practices lead to unfair competition, often perpetrated by employees, ex-employees, associates, or direct competitors. Other forms include parasitism, denigration, and imitation.
Disorganization can internally destabilize a company and harm its operations, resulting in adverse effects on its revenue.
Who Has the Right to Initiate an Investigation to Involve a Private Detective in Case of Disorganization?
Any business suffering from an act of unfair competition can conduct such an investigation.
How Can a Detective Intervene in a Case Related to Disorganization?
A private detective can intervene to gather evidence or information to prove malicious acts and wrongful behavior. The detective may organize surveillance, follow individuals, or even infiltrate the company.
Although the term “infiltration” often carries a negative connotation, it is often a wise choice for a company. Infiltration involves placing an investigator within a company discreetly to observe its operations. The goal is not to spy on employees but to detect fraudulent acts resulting from unfair competition.
Why Hire a Private Detective to Gather Probative Elements for a Case?
Hiring a private detective can be particularly beneficial, especially for companies operating in strategic and sensitive sectors. Bound by a code of ethics, the private detective ensures confidentiality. They are the only professionals authorized to act “without revealing their identity or the purpose of their mission.” Their intervention helps to substantiate facts through an investigation report. By collecting necessary evidence, these can be used directly in the competent jurisdiction. Collaborating with the client and their lawyer, the private detective plays a strategic role in ensuring the mission’s success.
