Managing Sensitive Situations with Rigor and Confidentiality
In response to reports of harassment, discrimination, violence, or other serious organizational dysfunctions, conducting an internal investigation is often a legal and managerial necessity. Cornet Vincent Ségurel assists companies and public authorities in carrying out impartial, rigorous internal investigations that fully respect the rights of all parties involved.
Moral and Sexual Harassment
We conduct investigations following reports or alerts of moral or sexual harassment. These investigations require a specific methodology to collect testimonies, analyze facts, and establish an accurate legal assessment, while preserving confidentiality and the dignity of all individuals concerned.
Discrimination and Harm to Individuals
We intervene in cases of alleged discrimination (based on origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or beliefs), workplace violence, sexist behavior, or any other conduct undermining the dignity of employees or staff.
Professional Misconduct
We conduct investigations into breaches of professional ethics, conflicts of interest, embezzlement, internal fraud, or any other serious dysfunction requiring in-depth inquiry.
Our Methodology
We ensure total independence in the conduct of investigations, guaranteeing objectivity and preventing any risk of bias. Our investigations strictly respect the rights of the defense, the confidentiality of exchanges, and the procedural safeguards provided under labor law.
Our approach includes interviews with all relevant parties (accused individuals, presumed victims, witnesses), document analysis, and factual reconstruction of events.
A Practical Investigation Report
At the conclusion of our investigations, we provide a detailed report summarizing established facts, a legal analysis of the situation, and recommendations on appropriate next steps (disciplinary measures, reorganization, support, training).
This report serves as a decision-making tool for management and can be used in subsequent litigation proceedings.
Preventing Legal and Reputational Risks
A well-conducted internal investigation demonstrates the seriousness with which a company or public body addresses reported issues, helping to reduce the risk of labor or criminal disputes, while preserving organizational climate and reputation.
We also assist in implementing corrective and preventive measures identified as part of the investigation.
