Lesley Brovner and Mark Peters have extensive experience working to ensure governmental accountability. From 2014 through 2018 Peters and Brovner served as Commissioner and First Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Investigation, New York City’s Inspector General. At DOI, they had jurisdiction to investigate any New York City agency, officer, elected official or employee of the City, as well as those who do business with or receive benefits from the City. In their time at DOI, they investigated hundreds of matters, many of which resulted in prosecution. They issued over 50 reports into city agencies and authorities, including the NYPD, Department of Buildings (DOB), and New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and were responsible for creating compliance plans for city agencies that included preventive controls and operational reforms to improve the way the City runs.

In private practice, Peters and Brovner have represented multiple government contractors who have either not been paid by the government or who have been unfairly investigated. Additionally, they have brought lawsuits against the government to force it to comply with its obligations and have worked with companies to obtain pre-litigation governmental compliance.
