Investigations

Investigations are a critical tool for employers in the prevention, identification and resolution of misconduct and wrongdoings in the workplace. With each complaint carrying the threat of legal exposure, an unbiased, ethical and thorough investigation is the strongest safeguard for public and private companies, educational institutions and nonprofits against current and future labor issues.

Our attorneys leverage extensive investigation and litigation experience in the employment-law arena to advise on—and conduct—impartial investigations involving the highly sensitive and complex allegations of abusive conduct, bullying, discrimination, harassment, implicit bias, retaliation, substance abuse, violence and whistleblower complaints, among other violations of an employer’s policies and challenges.
