Internal investigation procedure

Versant Avocats offers objective and confidential support to guide managers and human resources departments in managing internal alerts.

Companies are required to put in place procedures for collecting reports of offences and serious breaches of regulations (moral or sexual harassment, discrimination, environmental or public health issues, etc.). They must then conduct an internal investigation.

Conducting a survey requires a rigorous, objective approach. The existence of a robust internal investigation procedure contributes to the prevention of psychosocial risks within the company, and to ensuring the health and safety of employees.

We are in demand for :

Definition and development of alert procedures
Procedural support as soon as the alert is received
Carrying out the internal survey, which includes drawing up questionnaire templates, holding interviews and collecting data
Drafting of an investigation report and transmission of recommendations to the employer.
Support in implementing corrective measures and practical recommendations

The first step towards solving your legal problem.

Why hire a lawyer for an internal investigation?

Outsourcing an internal investigation is a decision that can be decisive in resolving delicate situations within your company. Calling in a legal investigator guarantees the integrity and credibility of the entire process.

Effective methodology: To minimize team destabilization, the internal survey requires careful framing and preparation of interviews.

Objectivity of the investigation report: This is ensured by the impartiality inherent in the investigating lawyer's mission, which guarantees a reliable and balanced report.

Confidentiality: The investigating lawyer is bound by professional secrecy, which covers all oral and written communications.

Legal expertise : The investigation is carried out in compliance with the laws and regulations in force, to help the employer make the right characterization of the facts.

Involvement : the involvement of an expert firm demonstrates the company's willingness not to ignore the facts reported, but to assess their true nature and respond appropriately.
