Internal Procedures & Investigations

Investigations into employee matters and whistleblowing or regulatory concerns, are highly time sensitive and can carry great reputational risk.

Overview

Investigations into employee matters and whistleblowing or regulatory concerns, are highly time sensitive and can carry great reputational risk. While employers operating in Ireland must be cognisant of fair procedures, the handling of complaints and concerns also must align with a business’s strategy and goals. 

We work with employers, both international and domestic, on every aspect of internal procedures including:

  • Drafting and advising on policies and procedures
  • Advising with global reach, aligning on clients’ approaches internationally and working cross-border
  • Advising on investigations of all kinds, including: conduct, whistleblowing, retaliation and penalisation
  • Interpersonal complaints such as harassment or bullying or other forms of alleged unfair treatment
  • Individual or collective grievances
  • C-suite issues
  • Performance
  • Redundancy
  • Absence management
  • Disciplinary matters

Businesses require expert advice in the design and navigation of internal processes and investigations, in particular for potentially high risk or sensitive concerns.

We appreciate that time is of the essence. We are highly responsive – we can clear conflicts in seconds, we have strength in depth and our team are highly motivated.

Experience

We advise commercially and robustly and have recognised expertise in supporting businesses in handling internal processes at all levels. We advise from inception to conclusion, including: designing specific processes, stakeholder management, early resolution where possible, report drafting and defence of disputes.

Our experience across multiple sectors is hands on. Not only do we guide and direct procedures but we have ourselves having acted as investigators, for instance, in complicated whistleblowing complaints. We have a proven track record of swift conclusion, whether informally, through mediation or producing reports that will withstand scrutiny.

Our advice is pragmatic and strategic, informed by the impact on the business, on the parties, on those managing the issue internally, and on the wider population and future implications.
