Conducting investigations is an efficient means of limiting liability in the workplace, assuaging conflict, and heading off potential lawsuits. Investigating employee complaints of any kind may not only legally protect the company, but may also assist in resolving conflicts among employees and improving the workplace environment and productivity.

Diana counsels employers on how to avoid an employment lawsuit and what issues plaintiff lawyers look for in determining the strength of a claim by an employee against an employer. She assists management in determining and implementing proper disciplinary procedures and/or termination, and conducts comprehensive workplace audits assessing the potential liability of employers. Such audits analyze whether an employer properly classifies its employees for wage and hour and taxation purpose, determine compliance with a range of other legal requirements such as notice postings, payment of wages, employee trainings, and more. Diana also drafts and reviews: employee handbooks, severance agreement, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, and more.
