At BW Law, we represent employees, professionals, and unionized workers under investigation or facing allegations. Our focus is helping you understand each stage of the formal investigation, ensuring procedural fairness, and protecting your rights.
If you’re under scrutiny by your employer or a regulatory body, we provide legal counsel, prepare you for investigation interviews, and advocate for fair treatment through every step.
Once an investigation is complete, we conduct a detailed review of the final report and any supporting documents. We assess whether the process was fair, whether your employer respected legal obligations, and identify grounds to dispute inaccurate or biased findings.
Workplace allegations can lead to more than just job loss; they may have civil or criminal consequences. We assess your situation and advise on potential legal risks, helping you understand how to protect yourself both professionally and personally.
Sometimes, the investigation process itself crosses legal lines. If your employer’s conduct violates Alberta’s Employment Standards Code or Human Rights Act, we identify those breaches and help you take appropriate legal action to defend your dignity and rights.
If your workplace investigation may result in criminal charges, such as fraud, assault, or harassment, we offer early legal intervention. Our lawyers help you understand the potential implications, protect your rights during questioning, and prepare a strong legal response before charges are laid.
Workplace misconduct demands a measured, expert approach to safeguard your reputation and career. With over 2 decades of combined experience, we’re here to provide you with the legal clarity and strategy needed to navigate complex situations.

A workplace investigation is a structured process used to address serious issues like harassment, workplace violence, or policy violations. If you’ve raised a complaint or have been named in one, your employer may launch an investigation to gather facts and determine what happened.
At BW Law, we stand with employees. Whether you’re a complainant, a witness, or the subject of an investigation, you have rights. We’re here to help you understand the process, protect your interests, and ensure fairness every step of the way.
If you’ve been named in a complaint, made a complaint yourself, or witnessed workplace misconduct, you may become part of a formal investigation. Under Alberta law, employers are required to investigate serious concerns, including:
An investigation can affect your job, your reputation, and your mental health. When mishandled, the process can cause real harm, even to those who did nothing wrong.
You may be at risk if:
Some companies hire external investigators when the issue involves senior management or complex allegations. These third-party professionals are meant to ensure fairness but that doesn’t guarantee the process is neutral or without flaws.
If an external investigator has been assigned to your case:
We begin by listening to your side of the story. We review the nature of the complaint, your role in the investigation, and any documents or communication you’ve received from your employer. Whether the issue involves harassment, bullying, discrimination, or another workplace violation, we’ll clarify what’s happening and how we can help. We also examine the relevant workplace policies and legislation involved so you know exactly where you stand.
If you’re being interviewed as part of the investigation, we’ll prepare you thoroughly. We explain what types of questions to expect, how to respond clearly and strategically, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Our focus is on helping you feel confident, informed, and protected throughout the process.
If you're uncomfortable or concerned about how the interview will be conducted, we can help you raise those concerns appropriately.
If you’re allowed access to the investigation materials, such as interview summaries, complaint details, or evidence used, we’ll review them with you. We assess the fairness and completeness of the investigation process and identify any concerns, inconsistencies, or procedural issues that may affect your outcome. If you’re not given access, we’ll explore other ways to support your position based on the information available.
Once the investigation concludes, we’ll review the outcome with you. If you disagree with the findings or feel the process was unfair, we can advise you on next steps, including internal appeals, grievances, or legal claims. We ensure you understand your rights and options clearly before taking action.
Workplace investigations can have lasting impacts. Whether you’re returning to work, facing new challenges, or considering legal recourse, we continue to support you beyond the investigation. We support individuals charged with offences post-investigation with their criminal or regulatory charges, and refer them to other lawyers for severance, accommodations, and human rights complaints.
