Sproat Workplace Investigations delivers thorough, unbiased workplace investigations for employers throughout Southwest Florida.

Workplace Investigations

Our primary focus is workplace investigations. We work with employers or their counsel to identify the scope of each investigation so it covers all relevant issues, and to create a focused investigation plan that is efficient, cost-effective and tailored to those issues. Our unbiased investigation techniques allow us to gather detailed facts through witness interviews and document acquisition and review. We work quickly, efficiently and discreetly to minimize workplace disruption. Our in-depth knowledge of employment law guides us to analyze the evidence and to reach clear, reasoned decisions. When requested, we produce investigation reports that are organized, thorough and impartial.

Clients know they can call on us through each step of the investigation. We offer pragmatic advice on issues that inevitably arise as the investigation evolves. For instance, we help clients strategize which witnesses to interview, the order of the interviews, and how the interviews should be conducted and  documented. We can also help clients identify the evidence to gather and consider — whether it is documents, electronic communications or tangible items.

Our assistance covers analysis of the evidence and preparation of an investigative report that complies with federal, state and local law and is consistent with the client’s policies. We guide clients through the delicate process of communicating the results of the investigation to the affected parties. We help clients address confidentiality issues and deal with adverse publicity.
