Expertise
We conduct independent, professional, and confidential workplace investigations across the full spectrum of issues that arise in the workplace. Our experience covers grievances, disciplinary appeals, alleged breaches of confidential information, and Protected Disclosures (whistleblowing). We have investigated workplace-related financial mismanagement and impropriety, alleged theft, alleged data protection breaches and bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
We advise clients in a wide range of sectors, including charity, education, financial services, healthcare, public, retail, technology, and private multinationals.
Our service is impartial, sensitive, and efficient. We focus on minimising disruption to the organisation hosting the investigation. We are sensitive to and advise clients on related issues, including: natural justice and fair procedures; protection of employees’ rights (complainants, respondents, witnesses); compliance with internal protocols; and regulatory and legal requirements
We support clients looking to build their capacity to manage complicated workplace investigations. Our investigators offer strategic, tailored, training for HR practitioners, managers, and in-house counsel.
We frequently advise high-profile investigators on legal issues relevant to investigation processes. Our advice ranges from identifying a Protected Disclosure, through guidance on dealing with witnesses, to defending challenges to investigation processes and decisions, including High Court litigation and injunction applications.
