If you meet someone who does "PI" work at a law firm, don't assume the "PI" stands for "personal injury." Bickel & Brewer, a 35-lawyer firm that handles securities and large commercial suits, hired its own in-house investigators -- and it's not the first firm to do so. Bickel partner William Brewer III says the four-member investigative unit saves the firm money and does a better job than outside investigators who wouldn't be as familiar with the material or apt to work as closely with the litigators.

In a perfect world, firms could employ private investigators who are as skilled as pseudo-bumbling television police detective Columbo, Dallas lawyer William Brewer III says.
That’s rarely the case when Brewer contracts with private investigation companies to help with litigation at 35-lawyer Bickel & Brewer, so the firm launched its own investigative unit in January. It’s staffed by three former agents and a former training instructor with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
