Investigation
From serious misconduct allegations and safety breaches to high profile whistleblowing and public interest disclosure matters, we have the experience and expertise to quickly and sensitively deliver the impartial, high quality information and recommendations you need to act with confidence.
Most investigation reports contain unnecessary information and complexity. Ours capture everything you need and nothing you don’t – concise, legally sound reports mean you understand your position precisely.
Where public interest disclosure matters require recommendations, you’re in safe hands. Our hands-on knowledge of the legislation and public sector operation has seen our reports and recommendations submitted to ICAC.
Desktop review
Desktop reviews are conducted on available material and documents without an interview process. Minimally intrusive, they are a valuable and effective tool at an early stage or when more information is necessary before moving ahead – you will have a clear understanding of where matters stand and what to do next.
Where extensive data requires collection and analysis, we’ve formed strong partnerships with e-discovery experts to quickly access and interpret the information that matters.
Cultural review
Not all serious issues start that way. We conduct comprehensive cultural reviews where team performance is suffering or negative feedback has become normal. The best risk management strategy is early detection and prevention and our sensitive and impartial approach provides actionable insights rarely available via internal avenues. We love hearing from clients shortly after we’ve concluded that they are experiencing record levels of staff engagement and performance.
The recent Respect@Work legislation has changed the game for employers, creating a positive duty on employers to take steps to eliminate sexual harassment in Australian workplaces. Cultural reviews have gone from best practice to compliance essentials. Our expert understanding of the new regulations and experience in conducting sensitive, impartial reviews means you navigate your new responsibilities with confidence.
Pre-deal and IPO
An essential element of due diligence for those considering buying a business, merging or undertaking an IPO. Conventional due diligence provides a good understanding of facts and figures but little insight into the crucial intangible factors which drive successful businesses. Our deep dive into people, culture and practices will reveal the complete picture of what you are buying or launching.
We know who to speak to, what to look for and the answers that matter.
