Expert Workplace Consulting Services
Investigations & HR Consulting
We conduct neutral, high-stakes investigations into Title VII and EEO claims. Beyond inquiries, our strategic HR consulting targets employee relations and workforce development to help leadership manage sensitive staff allegations with absolute integrity.
Strategic Compliance & Growth
Transform EEO systems into assets through strategic planning and workforce audits. We evaluate labor relations and workplace infrastructure, providing a roadmap for growth while resolving vulnerabilities before they escalate into legal disputes.
How We Work
Our approach is structured, impartial, and tailored to the circumstances of each engagement. From initial scoping through final reporting, we prioritize fairness, thorough documentation, and clear communication.
Phase 1
Scope & Plan
We begin by understanding the concern, defining the scope of the engagement, identifying relevant parties and information, and establishing an appropriate investigation plan and timeline.
Phase 2
Fact-Finding
We conduct impartial interviews and review relevant documents, communications, policies, and other available evidence. Interviews are informed by advanced investigative interviewing training and adapted to the circumstances of each matter.
Phase 3
Evidence Analysis
We evaluate the evidence against applicable organizational policies and established standards, assess credibility where necessary, and develop objective, well-supported findings.
Phase 4
Reporting
We deliver a clear, comprehensive report documenting the investigative process, relevant evidence, analysis, and findings to support informed organizational decision-making.
When Internal Neutrality Isn’t Possible, Legacy Lab Provides It.
Sensitive workplace concerns can become especially difficult when allegations involve senior leadership, HR personnel, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or other circumstances where an internal investigation may create an actual or perceived conflict of interest.
Legacy Lab Consulting provides organizations and counsel with an independent perspective, impartial fact-finding, clear documentation, and well-supported findings so leaders can determine the appropriate next steps with confidence.
