Overview
Traliant conducts sexual harassment investigations, EEO investigations, and investigations of other alleged employee misconduct for organizations around the world.
Our team of former U.S. Department of Justice and law firm attorneys interview witnesses using Zoom videoconferencing to save time and costs.
We utilize the same research-based investigative techniques that we teach in our investigations training, which we’ve provided to organizations such as the EEOC, Google, the World Bank, and FedEx.
Traliant's Investigative Expertise
Traliant has experience conducting investigations for large and small organizations around the world. Our investigative team has:
Trained thousands of attorneys, compliance officers, HR professionals, and other professionals how to conduct investigations
Provided expert witness testimony in cases challenging the adequacy of employers’ investigations
Investigated one of the U.S. Department of Justice’s first “pattern or practice” sexual harassment cases.
When should you outsource an internal investigation?
Courts have made clear that, when investigating sexual harassment and other allegations of employee misconduct, employers must ensure that the investigator has the proper training and experience to conduct an effective investigation. Even organizations that have qualified investigators on staff often turn to Traliant to investigate allegations that:
- May result in future litigation or criminal proceedings, such as allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, fraud, and bribery
- Involve a high-ranking official within the organization
- Involve “he said/she said” claims or claims where there are no eyewitnesses or other “smoking gun” evidence such that advanced techniques for detecting deception and truthfulness are required.
Cost-Effective Investigations
Traliant is able to conduct thorough investigations in a cost-effective manner. First, Traliant interviews witnesses using Zoom videoconferencing, saving time and travel expenses. Second, because of Traliant’s investigative methodology, Traliant is able to complete investigations and write investigative reports quickly and efficiently.
In many cases, Traliant is able to investigate the matter for a fixed fee, so that the client has certainty about the cost of the investigation before the investigation begins.
Relied on by Law Firms
HR professionals, in-house counsel, and compliance officers rely on Traliant to provide thorough, legally compliant investigative reports quickly. Traliant’s investigations are much less expensive that hiring a law firm to conduct the investigation.
Law firms also rely on Traliant to conduct investigations on behalf of their clients. In this way, law firm attorneys save their clients money in the investigation process and the law firm attorneys are not conflicted out of handling any subsequent litigation. (Traliant does not represent employers in litigation as Traliant Institute is not engaged in the practice of law.)
