Internal Investigations That Hold Up in Court

Workplace complaints can arise at any time—and how employers respond can significantly impact legal risk, employee trust, and organizational culture. Even well-intentioned actions can create exposure if investigations are not handled properly from the start.

Join labor & employment senior counsel, Joey Wright, and partner, Peter Hansen, for an interactive Breakfast Briefing that walks through a real-world investigation scenario from start to finish. Using a “whodunit” approach, this session will guide attendees through key decision points, helping employers understand how to conduct effective, defensible internal investigations that hold up under scrutiny.

Topics will include:

• When an internal investigation should be initiated;
• How to plan and conduct effective employee interviews;
• Maintaining confidentiality and preserving privilege;
• Proper documentation and investigation reports; and
• Common pitfalls—and how to avoid them.
