Adam Investigations Counsel skillfully navigates the sensitivities and complexities of workplace investigations to put interviewees at ease and provide clear, reasoned reports that firmly withstand courtroom examination.
Adam Investigations Counsel knows what’s at risk.
Accusations made against executives, high-level managers, supervisors, and colleagues can tarnish an organization’s reputation, cause economic loss, and disrupt the workplace. Investigations into these sensitive, high-stakes allegations require careful navigation and gravitas.
Under California and federal law, serious workplace allegations require employers to conduct swift, thorough, and unbiased investigations. While these investigations are often handled internally by a human resources professional, serious misconduct allegations that implicate executives and high-ranking employees or allege pervasive problematic company cultures and practices demand external review. Given the weight workplace investigations carry in potential legal actions, an employer’s response to complaints withstands greater scrutiny when a skilled, external investigator is retained.
Aisha Shelton Adam, managing partner of Adam Investigations Counsel, understands the high stakes involved in investigating workplace complaints and is sensitive to the far-reaching implications of misconduct allegations. Ms. Adam regularly conducts neutral investigations into whistleblower complaints and allegations of retaliation, harassment, discrimination, abusive conduct, fraud, and waste for global media, automotive, clothing, and medical device companies and hospitals, as well as financial service and insurance providers.
Adam Investigations Counsel delivers the valuable, impartial reporting businesses need to make time-sensitive decisions to remedy misconduct complaints.
