When an employee sues for wrongful termination, attorneys typically need to be able to disprove management's reasons for the firing. A thorough investigation can help to uncover pretext and provide evidence that the employee was treated unfairly. On the other side, a company, when faced with such litigation, needs to know the truth. Good investigation gives attorneys guidance as they develop litigation strategy and prevents unwelcome surprises. In some cases, early settlement is the most prudent course. In other situations, investigations will reveal that the termination was proper, and taking the case to trial is a cost effective approach. Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defendant, knowing the true facts is always an asset.
