Workplace Investigations

Our attorneys are regularly retained by public agencies, private employers, and outside counsel to conduct independent investigations of workplace complaints. We are known for being prompt, thorough, fair, and discreet.

Because we represent both employers and employees in our litigation practice, we bring a balanced perspective that fosters trust on all sides. This dual experience allows us to approach sensitive issues with neutrality—an essential quality for any workplace investigation.

Our investigations work spans a wide range of industries and institutions, from publicly traded corporations to nonprofit organizations and municipalities. Recent matters have included investigation of alleged fraud and misrepresentation by an employee in the financial services sector; claims of gender discrimination and bullying involving an executive at a nonprofit; and allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation at a growing technology start-up.

We have also been engaged to investigate complaints involving discrimination against transgender employees, internal affairs allegations within police departments, and whistleblower complaints under Washington’s public employee protections. In addition, our team has handled sensitive inquiries into workplace culture, implicit bias, and employee conduct within schools and municipal agencies.
