Hearing such statements from an employee is an employer’s worst nightmare. To make it worse, the law increasingly imposes on an employer the obligation to do a thorough investigation of such allegations, or potentially face liability in a lawsuit based in part on the lack of a thorough and fair investigation.

Sebris Busto James attorneys can help. We are frequently called on to conduct or assist with investigations of harassment, discrimination and other workplace misconduct claims. As your attorneys, we can conduct the investigation for you and give advice based on our findings, or we can work behind the scenes, assisting you with the process and helping you evaluate your findings.

We also function as independent workplace investigators. In this capacity, we are fact finders only and the employer works with its usual attorney to evaluate the evidence and decide how to respond to the complaint after the investigation is completed.

In either capacity, we bring to the table our knowledge of employment law, experience in litigating employment matters and practical understanding of human resources issues to provide the best investigation possible.
