We are doing business in an increasingly complex and aggressive regulatory environment. Therefore, employers need to understand how to respond properly and timely to allegations of wrongdoing in the workplace.

We will consider the following questions, among others:

• What is an internal investigation and what is its purpose?
• What can we hope to accomplish in an investigation?
• How do we determine the proper scope of the investigation?
• Who should conduct the investigation?
• How do we ensure confidentiality?
• How do we prevent retaliation?
• Who should conduct the investigation?
• What are best practices?
• What are the benefits and risks of conducting – or failing to conduct – an investigation?

We will also invite you to ask the questions on your mind.
