Workplace investigations.
Our specialist area is outsourced investigations for small to medium sized companies.

We provide that expertise and independence that ensures your business will not face criticism or large unfair dismissal awards at Employment Tribunal because they failed to investigate a matter independently and fairly.
Grievances raised by employees will be investigated by us in accordance with the business Grievance Policies. All relevant witness and physical evidence will be obtained and examined. Based on the factual evidence a fair and independent determination will be made on the balance of probabilities to decide if the grievance matter should be upheld.
