The duty to investigate is now law. Chile’s Karin Law · Mexico’s LFT reform & ILO C190 · Colombia’s Law 2365

Home / The Firm

An institution,
not a vendor.

IEC operates the workplace-investigations and integrity function that Latin America’s mid-market companies need and cannot build on their own.

§1

Purpose

That every worker in Latin America gets a serious investigation when they come forward, and every company a solid defense when it responds, without the size of the organization deciding the quality of internal justice.

The law already mandates investigation in Mexico, Chile and Colombia. But the market offers only two extremes: outside counsel at $15,000–40,000 USD per case, or internal teams never trained to investigate. Neither protects the company. Neither protects the person who came forward. IEC exists exactly in that gap.

§2

Vision

To be the external workplace-investigations and integrity department for the region’s mid-market: the standard function that turns every complaint into a 48-hour response, compliant with each country’s law and defensible before any court, the same way payroll goes to the accountant and the audit to the firm.

§3

How we work

With a single architecture: proprietary methodologies (ICHR™ for the full investigation cycle, DDA™ for disciplinary decision assurance, CAL-5.X for evidence calibration) operated on analysis infrastructure built for investigations, under strict confidentiality. Technology compresses weeks of work into days; professional judgment decides and signs. No determination is ever made by a machine.

Principles

What a skeptical client should be able to verify.

Independence

We investigate without conflicts of interest and without a predetermined outcome. Our client is the integrity of the process: an investigation that only confirms what management wanted to hear protects no one.

Dual protection

Every case file protects two things at once: the company’s legal defense and the dignity of the person who came forward. When an investigation sacrifices one for the other, it has failed at both.

Structural confidentiality

Discretion is not a promise: it is architecture. Information handled on a need-to-know basis, protection of reporters and witnesses, and data processing compliant with each jurisdiction’s rules.

Method over intuition

An explicit standard of proof, chain of custody, testimony calibration and traceable documentation. A case file’s conclusion must be reconstructable, step by step, by a third party, or it is worthless.

who signs.

Behind the firm is an investigator with a name, a method and a verifiable track record, not an anonymous platform.
