our firm


Thacher Associates, LLC is one of the premier corporate intelligence, investigative and integrity risk-management firms in the United States. The firm was founded in 1996 as a specialist in investigations, forensic audits and corporate integrity monitoring protocols. Over the past thirteen years Thacher Associates has evolved into a full-service investigative firm servicing some of the largest industries and institutions in New York City, the United States and the world.

Although Thacher Associates is not a law firm, most of our senior managers are attorneys with considerable experience as prosecutors. Together with our investigators, forensic accountants, forensic engineers, and our professional research analysts, we comprise a group of individuals with the global contacts, electronic resources, and collective experience to go beyond pure fact-finding. Our interdisciplinary approach melds risk-management expertise with a network of sophisticated intelligence, investigative and audit services. Unlike narrowly-focused private investigators and accounting firms, Thacher Associates identifies systemic problems and delivers solutions while enhancing efficiency and profitability.

Each year corporations, government and regulatory agencies, school districts, and charitable and religious institutions lose billions of dollars due to breaches of fiduciary duties, self-dealing by untrustworthy employees, and unethical actions by unscrupulous or unqualified vendors and contractors. Thacher Associates helps clients protect and enhance their reputation—and their bottom line.
