Workplace investigations are a significant part of our practice. We pride ourselves
on the excellent quality of our investigative work – fair, objective, thorough and
completed in a timely and efficient way. We have conducted scores of workplace investigations
for private businesses, public agencies and non-profit organizations.
Unlike many firms who counsel only employers, we also provide employment law
counseling to employees. We find that this experience of "working both sides
of the street" has made us more impartial as investigators. We also appear
more impartial to investigation participants and to decision-makers when we serve
as outside investigators.
