THE CONSENSUS GROUP

The Consensus Group works with our business clients’ human resource professionals and law departments in the investigation, assessment, and resolution of internal employee complaints and claims filed with state and federal equal employment opportunity agencies.  The Consensus Group manages the employment dispute from its inception to completion at the administrative level, coordinating the investigation, response(s), interviews, fact-findings, and /or resolution of the claim.  Our investigations are conducted by legal professionals to maintain confidentiality.

Prior to representing any client, our professionals immerse themselves into learning the client’s business, policies, procedures and company culture, entirely at the firm’s expense.  This investment results in the ability to thoroughly and confidentially investigate and respond to complaints and accurately assess the risk of the respective employment dispute.
