Sharpening Your Skills: Best Practices for Conducting Internal Investigations

Compliance with laws and regulations, coordination with various stakeholders, and organization to ensure processes are followed are all needed to conduct just one internal investigation. However, a single incident at a postsecondary institution can trigger multiple investigations by different offices on campus and the discovery of unknown information during those investigations can lead to even more investigations. Additionally, public relations pressure can further complicate an already overwhelming, multifaceted investigative process. It is crucial that campus counsel and others involved in internal investigations have a solid grasp on when an investigation should be opened, the different stages of investigative processes, and how to maintain solid oversight of simultaneous internal investigations.  

Please join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore: 

  • The pre-investigations stage, such as fact gathering, jurisdictional issues, how to initiate the process, and other related issues; 

  • How to manage oversight of multiple investigations, including ordering of investigations and determining how different stakeholders should coordinate and communicate with one another; 

  • Privilege issues and other privacy laws implicated by investigations; and  

  • Hypotheticals illustrating how to think through these concepts.  

Who should attend? 

This webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who conduct internal investigations, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to internal investigations.
