#NotYouToo: How to Conduct Legal Investigations in the Aftermath of #MeToo

Effective internal investigation of discrimination, harassment, code of conduct and other policy violations is a critical component of employment law liability prevention. This interactive session will address strategies responsive to recent workplace dynamics, such as the #MeToo movement and the ongoing litany of high-profile accusations. Littler attorneys will also cover the following:

• Considerations that impact effective internal investigations in the current climate
• The investigator's role – where it begins and ends
• Practical complaint “intake" strategies
• Attorney-client considerations
• Development of the investigation plan, including documentation
• Witness interview and information gathering techniques

In this unique workshop-style session, participants will assume roles and play out a workplace investigation. Littler attorneys will then offer feedback and suggested response strategies to those scenarios.
