Workplace Investigations for Employers

In addition to conducting workplace investigations, we also help Employees who are being investigated by their employers, witnesses and complainants during the workplace investigation.    

Workplace investigations can be extremely stressful for someone who is being wrongfully accused of employee misconduct. Workplace investigations also pose a danger that criminal charges or professional regulatory proceedings may follow.  

Our experience in both employment law and criminal law situates us well to assist employees who are being investigated by their employers for conduct that may also result in criminal charges. While a suspect in a criminal investigation has the right to remain silent, the same is not true in the employment context. Our firm helps employees walk that fine line so that they can participate in their employer’s investigation (and keep their job) while reducing the risk of providing evidence (including statements) that can be given to the police and used against them later in criminal prosecutions.
