• Tara led the revamp of an international manufacturing company’s compliance program covering several hundred intermediaries. For vendors categorized as high risk, Tara and her team conducted on-site compliance audits of these entities located throughout Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
• Tara led rigorous open-source research for a client faced with product liability lawsuits in several jurisdictions to identify customers who could serve as potential witnesses on the client’s behalf. Reviewing traditional media, regulatory filings, and social media platforms and contacting affinity groups, Tara’s team identified more than 200 potential witnesses. After further investigation and preliminary interviews with those customers, her team presented a vetted group of potential witnesses to outside counsel in preparation for trial.
