- 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.
