Internal Investigations

Companies, non-profit organizations, and public agencies have an obligation to investigate and resolve complaints of unlawful treatment toward an employee. Workplace investigations can be critical in maintaining a safe and effective workplace for all employees and managers.

Strong policies, supported by training and a mechanism for prompt remedial action when warranted, can provide a legal defense against later litigation.
