Whether it’s harassment, discrimination, or a breach of a workplace policy, the path to resolution begins with a clear, impartial fact-finding process.

At Alinea Workplace Law, we provide independent investigations that withstand scrutiny. With experience navigating unionized and non-unionized environments, and both federally and provincially regulated industries, we understand that a successful investigation requires more than just legal knowledge—it requires a steady hand and a neutral perspective.

Our Approach to Neutrality

As an investigator, our role is not to advocate, but to uncover. We provide a "new paragraph" for organizations by delivering a clear record of facts that allows you to make informed, defensible decisions.

Impartiality First: We operate as a truly independent third party, ensuring that the process is fair to all participants and free from internal biases.

Areas of Investigation

We are equipped to handle a wide range of sensitive workplace mandates, including:

• Harassment & Bullying: Investigating allegations of toxic work environments or interpersonal misconduct.

• Human Rights & Discrimination: Ensuring compliance with provincial and federal human rights codes.

• Policy Breaches: Verifying compliance with internal codes of conduct and employment agreements.

The Alinea Deliverable

At the conclusion of our mandate, we provide a Comprehensive Investigation Report that includes:

1. A Clear Scope: Defining the parameters of the mandate.

2. Credibility Assessments: Expert analysis of witness testimony and evidence.

3. Factual Findings: A definitive determination of what occurred, balanced against the "balance of probabilities" standard.

Why Choose an External Investigator?

Bringing in Alinea mitigates the risk of perceived bias that often arises during internal HR investigations. It protects the integrity of your process and provides a layer of legal security should the matter ever proceed to litigation or a tribunal.
