Interview and review
Hear from the people involved and examine relevant records and communications.
Follow the evidence

Industry experience
Understanding your
workplace matters.
Investigation experience grounded
in the dealership environment.
More than 20 years conducting workplace investigations in the automotive industry.
We haven’t seen it all, but we’ve seen a lot. That experience brings familiarity with dealership dynamics, culture, and working relationships. It also reinforces that every situation deserves a fresh look.
Every engagement calls for an open mind, a thorough review of the facts, and documentation that your team can use. The work remains independent and impartial.
Common questions
Clarity before
you begin.
How do you work with our HR team?
We perform the investigative work and coordinate with your designated contacts. Shared access to the case management system keeps client HR connected to the matter. Your organization retains responsibility for employment decisions.
What if the evidence does not support the concern?
We report what the evidence supports, including where information is conflicting or insufficient. An unsubstantiated concern does not, by itself, mean someone deliberately made a false report.
How long does an investigation take?
Timing depends on the scope, available evidence, and interview availability. We discuss expectations with your organization and communicate progress rather than promise the same deadline for every matter.
Can our counsel review the investigation file?
The documented record supports counsel’s review. Counsel evaluates legal strategy and privilege; engaging an outside investigator does not automatically create privilege or guarantee an outcome.
How are investigations priced?
Investigations are billed hourly. We discuss the scope and billing arrangements directly with your organization before the engagement begins.
How do we get started?
Start with a business inquiry to discuss the concern and your organization’s needs. We agree on the scope and engagement before beginning the investigation.
