Workplace investigations

Regulatory and internal investigations are on the increase across all industries and often have a cross-border dimension.

These investigations span a range of alleged employment issues, from sexual misconduct, systemic discrimination and human rights breaches to supply chain abuses, health and safety failures and broader regulatory concerns.

We provide guidance on employee investigations, compliance issues, cultural reviews and whistleblowing regimes. We are here to support you in dealing with conflicting stakeholder expectations as to how to manage an investigation, balancing regulatory and employment obligations, the disciplinary process, employee monitoring and timing issues.

We have advised on the employment aspects of numerous investigations across the globe and know where the differences lie and how to avoid the traps.
