Redefining Your Professional Lens: The Top Three Shifts Lawyers Must Make as Workplace Investigators

Lawyers are increasingly asked to step into workplace and administrative investigations — work that demands a different mindset, skillset, and role clarity than litigation.

For nearly twenty years, the Veritas Solutions team has worked alongside law firms, trained lawyers, and led investigations in high‑stakes, people‑risk contexts where fairness, independence, and defensibility matter.

In this one‑hour webinar, Lauren Hanon — a litigation lawyer turned administrative investigator — and Bob Stenhouse, CEO of Veritas Solutions, share practical insight from real investigative work.

They will explore three critical shifts lawyers must make when moving into the investigator role:

1. From litigator to neutral decision‑maker
2. From cross‑examination to trauma‑informed investigative interviewing
3. From adversarial posture to professional judgment grounded in fairness, dignity, and emotional intelligence

This session is designed for lawyers who want their investigative work to be clear, credible, and able to withstand scrutiny, while treating the people involved with care.

Join us for a thoughtful, practical conversation grounded in experience.
