HUMAN RESOURCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS CONSULTING AND INVESTIGATION
If you are uncertain whether an investigation is warranted, act without delay.
The first priority is immediate action. Disorganization, insufficient effort, or failure to respond promptly to a potential issue can escalate a minor matter into a full-scale crisis, significantly compromising investigative efforts and amplifying legal exposure.
​
At Marshall, Elery & Associates, we have observed that delays are among the most frequent and costly investigative errors. Allowing misconduct to persist due to investigative postponement may result in a court, tribunal, or commission determining that your organization failed to exercise due diligence and leadership by neglecting to investigate and resolve the issue in a timely manner. Such a finding could expose your organization to reputational damage, financial liability, and legal sanctions.
​
Our senior investigative consultants possess extensive expertise and are adept at conducting interviews and examinations under oath. Their primary objective is to mitigate organizational risk by identifying critical evidence, assessing witness credibility, and meticulously documenting findings.
Our consultants remain fully informed of the latest legal and regulatory developments impacting investigations and workplace claims, including evolving privacy considerations and evidentiary requirements.
​
Upon conclusion of the investigation, clients receive a comprehensive investigative report detailing all findings. This report includes a chronological account of relevant facts, witness statements, transcripts of examinations under oath, and any other pertinent data necessary for informed decision-making. The investigative report is meticulously prepared to withstand scrutiny in legal proceedings, ensuring it serves as a robust evidentiary tool in advancing the client’s position.
