#NotYouToo: How to Conduct Legal Investigations in the Aftermath of #MeToo

The need to carefully examine, and effectively conduct, lawful workplace investigations, is more critical than ever. Effective internal investigations of discrimination, harassment, code of conduct and other policy violations are one of the most critical components in the area of employment law liability prevention. This investigation session will address strategies that are responsive to recent workplace dynamics, such as the #MeToo movement and the ongoing litany of high-profile accusations, while providing a foundation for effective internal workplace investigations.

This session will cover the following:

• Considerations that impact effective internal investigations in the current climate 
• Understanding the investigator’s role: where it begins and ends
• Examining practical complaint “intake” strategies 
• Attorney-client considerations
• Developing an investigation plan
• Witness interview and information gathering techniques 
• Report and documentation strategies

Littler Attorneys will provide a unique interactive experience in which participants assume the role of an employment relations specialist responding to an allegation of workplace misconduct. Participants will receive feedback and response strategies that address current workplace challenges.
