Representative Work

One of our clients hired us after being sued in a lawsuit alleging abuse or harassment of a client/visitor to the business. With no video evidence, the case appeared to be a high-risk “he said, she said” case that presented significant risk to the company’s reputation. Our team investigated the accuser’s background to the extent that we located and interviewed contacts of the accuser from decades ago.

Through interviews, we learned that the accuser had a long history of making false accusations related to inappropriate sexual conduct. Through our work, we were able to obtain a successful resolution of the claim for our client. We have since counseled the company on ways to strengthen its policies and procedures to better minimize risk to itself from potential future accusations.
