Complex workplace investigations include issues beyond the individual circumstances of the allegation of a human rights violation, for example. Investigators provide insight on the broader context that contributed to the allegation. Recommendations include systemic changes in policies, procedures, staffing, and organizational structures. Race-based and sexual harassment complaints, for example, are frequently complex and difficult for employers to resolve in-house. This challenge is especially so if the allegations are made against senior management who hold power within the organization.
These challenges can include: Emotionally charged accusations • Mismanaged complexities • Bad-faith allegations • Well-meaning but misguided interventions • Unequal accountability • Intense intra-office politics • Forgotten organizational values.
For complex investigations, LISA TERYL, senior legal counsel and workplace lawyer atTeryl Scott LawyersInc., partners with investigators to engage with relevant stakeholders in the institution. Teryl Scott investigators take a relational approach to the investigation which expedites proceedings. These investigations can provide legal, policy and organizational recommendations in order to eliminate future risk and exposure.
LEGAL COSTSSimple and complex investigation costs vary depending on how broadly and in-depthly they are commissioned. Depending on the length of the investigation, monthly flat fees can be provided to be cost-effective for the organization. Discounts are available for non-profits and smaller businesses. HST and any disbursements are additional costs.

Lisa was very professional and knowledgeable, overall, she made me feel her services were money very well spent. She helped me prepare my case in a way I would have... read more never considered. I felt very supported the entire time and felt I had a worthy coach in my corner. What I thought was extremely difficult before was made so much easier and I came through more easily and quickly than I ever expected.
Lisa, thank you very much for your time and expertise.

Lisa was fantastic to deal with, and helped our organization with not only what we originally sought assistance with, but also with a few other items we weren't even aware... read more of. She was very in tune with our needs, and a pleasure to do business with. Would recommend to others.
