Forte Law Workplace Investigations

We conduct timely, fair, and impartial investigations into work-related matters.

Confidentiality is central to our work.  As lawyers in BC and Alberta, our investigation work and reports can be protected by solicitor-client privilege.

We have experience in a wide range of private and public sector industries including healthcare, community services, post-secondary and K-12 education, retail, service and hospitality, manufacturing, construction, and mining.

We approach every investigation with these core values:

Preserving working relationships.
We ensure that all stakeholders feel heard and respected, and work to minimize the wake left by the investigation. We can also support pre- and post-investigation communications strategy.

Focus and clarity of scope.
We take care to avoid ever-expanding investigations and “scope-creep.” We prepare careful Terms of Reference, and change scope only when necessary and approved by our client.

Proportionality and flexibility
There is no one-size-fits all investigation and we communicate regularly with our clients throughout the process, while maintaining impartiality. A written report is not always needed, and we can also act as mediators when appropriate.

Trauma-informed approach.
We have training in trauma-informed practice and experience working with First Nations communities and clients.
