Protecting Integrity, Fairness, and Legal Compliance in the Workplace

When serious concerns arise at work—such as harassment, retaliation, discrimination, or misconduct—employers are required to take swift and effective action. A properly conducted internal investigation can make the difference between a resolved issue and a costly legal battle.

At Best Employment Lawyer, we assist employers and employees throughout California and Nevada with complex workplace investigations. Our experienced employment investigation attorneys conduct, oversee, and evaluate investigations involving misconduct, HR complaints, whistleblower reports, and other legal violations.

Whether you're a business facing a sensitive complaint or an employee concerned about fairness and retaliation, our team ensures every step of the process is handled professionally, lawfully, and confidentially.

Legal Requirements and Best Practices

California Employers:

Under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers are legally obligated to promptly and thoroughly investigate harassment and discrimination claims. Failure to act can result in liability—even if the original claim lacks merit.

Nevada Employers:

Nevada employers must investigate claims of unlawful conduct to avoid exposure under federal laws such as Title VII, ADA, and the FLSA. Retaliation after a complaint or investigation is also prohibited under NRS Chapter 613.

Our firm ensures your investigation policies and practices meet the standards set by federal and state law.
