Investigations

Independent. Thorough. Credible. 

When an employee raises a serious concern, organizations need to know what actually happened. 

An independent workplace investigation creates a structured process for gathering the facts, evaluating conflicting accounts, and giving decision-makers reliable information they can use to determine what happens next. 

Sumner Law conducts neutral, third-party workplace investigations
for businesses and organizations facing allegations such as: 
 ~ Harassment
 ~ Discrimination 
 ~ Retaliation 
 ~ Bullying or inappropriate conduct 
 ~ Policy violations
 ~ Management misconduct
 ~ Workplace conflict 
 ~ Other complex employee complaints 

Experience Matters When the Facts Aren’t Simple. 

With more than 20 years of experience as an attorney and hundreds of investigations handled,
we are comfortable stepping into complicated situations. 

We approach each investigation independently and without a predetermined conclusion.
That means identifying the relevant issues, reviewing appropriate documents and evidence,
interviewing the people who may have relevant information, evaluating the facts, and documenting the findings. 

More Than a Fact-Finding Exercise 

An investigation should leave an organization with greater clarity, not more confusion. 

Our reports are designed to give decision-makers a thorough understanding of the
issues investigated, the information gathered, and the resulting findings
so they can make informed decisions about what happens next.
