Government Investigations

Over the years employers have had to recognize and deal with the effects of an increasingly litigious workforce. Today, more employees feel that their first option for dealing with workplace issues is to file a charge of discrimination or unlawful activity with a government agency. Employers frequently attempt to answer these administrative charges themselves, often with disastrous results. Because these charges are precursors to full blown litigation, responses that are factually or strategically ill prepared can have devastating effects in resolving even a frivolous claim.

We have extensive experience guiding employers through investigative audits and administrative proceedings involving government agencies. This experience enables us to help clients maximize the chances of a favorable outcome and minimize the chances of a mistake. In all of our years of practice, we have rarely had a negative finding entered by a government agency against one of our clients when we were actively involved in the agency's administrative process.
