Designing or Optimizing the Investigation Process

• assess your current investigations process to measure its effectiveness
• improve the process to ensure that its structure fits your organization’s specific risk profile and your ethics-and-compliance program goals
• prepare policies, protocols and templates to ensure that investigations are done consistently and with reliable results
• ensure that your process is effective and relevant

Investigations Coaching and Monitoring

• expert coaching to enable internal staff to complete the investigation at a fraction of the cost of referring it to outside resources
• advisory services to support your day-to-day management of the investigations program to ensure that the process is efficient, business focused, and protects the organization

Investigations

• conduct investigations on behalf of companies
• single workplace investigation or a broader engagement to handle all of a company’s workplace investigation needs
• complement your existing resources to investigate incidents which arise outside of the ordinary course of business but which are less than those situations requiring a full law-firm response
• investigate part or all of a case that is being handled by outside counsel
