When a law firm is advising a client which is unable to conduct an in-house investigation itself, perhaps where the parties involved are too senior or the issues too sensitive, independent investigators can be used to conduct investigations and then act as an expert witness, should the matter proceed to tribunal.
This tool is particularly useful in disciplinary and grievance matters, especially when a firm is forced to investigate sensitive issues such as discrimination and harassment.
