Educate Yourself
If you’re considering an internal investigation or wondering when to involve a professional investigator, this is the place to learn more. When policies are breached or people are harmed, HR should be learning why it happened so it doesn’t happen again. That’s the value of a thorough internal investigation.
The Method Resource Centre provides you with the tools you need to examine, investigate, understand and prevent many workplace claims including harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, assault, discrimination, professional misconduct, compromised health and safety and more.
Let Us Investigate
Using a law firm to investigate your matter has its advantages:
Knowledge, Experience, and Advice
Let our experience guide you through the entire investigative process from planning and interviewing to drafting the report and advising on next steps.
Confidentiality & Privilege
Leverage solicitor-client privilege to keep the details of any investigation completely confidential.
Ethical Obligations
We stringently uphold the ethical standards of the Law Society to which we are accountable.
Who We Are
We’re a workplace investigation firm run by leading employment lawyers, former judges, and HR managers who also have extensive experience as educators and investigators.
Poorly executed workplace investigations lead to innocent people losing their jobs, real victims not getting justice and unnecessary liability for the organization. We saw both in private practice, and we always thought we could do a better job. So far so good.
We bring decades of legal, HR, and Workplace Investigation experience to bear on ensuring your investigation is discreet, thorough, and efficient.
As Alberta’s ONLY Workplace Investigation Law Firm and Investigation Resource Centre, we specialize in examining, dissecting, understanding and preventing claims of harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, assault, discrimination, professional misconduct, compromised health and safety and more.
