What I Do
When sensitive concerns arise, a well-structured internal investigation is critical. I assist businesses with planning, conducting, and documenting investigations that align with legal standards and best practices. My services include:
- Advising on investigation scope and process
- Reviewing or drafting interview questions
- Providing guidance on neutrality, confidentiality, and documentation
- Recommending next steps and corrective actions based on findings

I also provide post-investigation support, helping you assess outcomes, update policies, and strengthen prevention strategies to reduce future risks.
Common Client Concerns
Employers often reach out when they:
- Receive a harassment or discrimination complaint from an employee

- Require clear, defensible documentation for legal or administrative review
I help management and HR teams navigate these situations calmly and correctly, ensuring every step is compliant, consistent, and respectful.
