Investigations
Ensuring compliance with Title VII and its state law counterparts, as well as Title IX in educational settings is essential for fostering safe, equitable, and inclusive spaces in workplaces and educational institutions, and reducing legal risk. Our professional investigation services are designed to address allegations in a timely manner, resolve conflicts, identify potential liability issues and promote compliance with federal and state regulations. ClarkDeragon Law provides neutral, thorough, and legally compliant investigations for both workplace and educational environments.
Why Title VII & Title IX Investigations Matter
Title VII, ADA and ADEA, and their state law counterparts: Prohibit workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), physical and mental disability, age, and national origin.
Title IX: Protects individuals in educational programs and activities from sex-based discrimination, including sexual harassment, assault, and gender-based violence.
Failing to address complaints can result in legal risks including investigations by federal and state agencies, lawsuits, and reputational damage. Just as significantly, the failure to address complaints can have a negative impact on company culture including decreased trust of management, poor employee morale, and systemic inequity, leading to increased turnover.
