The six ways that a plaintiff’s lawyer can undermine or “attack” an investigation are:
o The “Neutrality” Attack
o The “Time” Attack
o The “Fair & Thorough” Attack
o The “Taint Free” Attack
o The “Retaliation” Attack
o The “Burden to Remedy” Attack
The details of these attacks are the subject of a program which I will be presenting to the attendees of PIHRA District 15 on August 17, 2010, 11:30am-1:30pm. If you are interested in learning more about them in an entertaining format, please register and attend: http://www.pihra15.org. Nonmembers are permitted to attend as well.
To demonstrate my gratitude to PIHRA in supporting Katz Consulting & Associates’ mission to proactively prevent lawsuits, I am also including downloadable Sample Documents that are helpful in conducting investigations of sexual harassment.
