Employment Investigations

Employers rely on Greene Espel to conduct internal investigations about their most sensitive and high-stakes workplace issues. 

We help employers evaluate their workplaces to avoid surprises. Whether employees raise concerns or employers seek to learn more about ongoing issues, Greene Espel helps understand past acts, internal dynamics, and potential liability issues. We document findings for future use while complying with privacy standards and other legal requirements. And we provide recommendations to avoid litigation and improve workplaces. 

Among other things, we: 

  • Conduct workplace investigations ranging from alleged harassment to discrimination to potential financial misconduct by high-ranking executives and officials; 
  • Advise clients in conducting their own internal workplace investigations; 
  • Oversee workplace investigations by third-party employment investigators; and 
  • Train internal investigators in investigation and interview skills.
