Do You Need Someone Independent to Resolve Consider the Allegations and or Dispute at the Workplace?
Independent Investigations and Fact Finding
Sometimes sensitive and difficult workplace relationships have reached a stage where they require an initial ‘fact-find’ or a more in-depth formal investigation as part of your internal grievance or dispute procedures.
Pendlebury Workplace Law can help you to respond quickly, professionally, and with an important independent perspective.
Conducting investigations and fact-findings is a specialist area and your final report needs to be robust in any subsequent stages of your procedures, or if progressed further externally, as in a court or tribunal.
Pendlebury Workplace Law conducts focused and thorough investigations and provides your organisation with sound reports that are succinct and definitive.
