Workplace Investigations

Glenn Jones
Workplace Investigations Consultant

There are times in the life of an organisation when simply leaving a problem to resolve itself internally is no longer viable. Such situations often involve uncertainty as to what has occurred, what is happening, or what may happen. It might be a case of alleged harassment, a breakdown in workplace harmony, or inappropriate conduct.

Or it might involve allegations of misbehaviour, or even suspicions of criminal conduct, such as fraud or theft of information. These are not situations to leave to the unqualified, no matter how well intentioned.

As Canberra’s premier employment law specialists, Williams Love & Nicol Lawyers is uniquely placed in having its own integrated in-house investigation capacity. We are able to undertake discreet factual inquiries of the highest standard into a broad range of commercial concerns.
