Fact-Finding Conference
A Neutral Fact-Finding Evaluation is ideal for companies or agencies that have instituted an internal grievance process but would prefer a neutral person investigate and resolve the matter to eliminate any perception of bias in its handling of the matter.
This type of process is an expedited process, which is designed to finalize the investigative process and result in a Written Finding at the end of the Conference. Fact-Finding Conferences entail gathering and reviewing discovery, interviewing and taking testimony from parties and witnesses, making credibility findings, evaluating the merits of the case, drafting a comprehensive case analysis, and issuing a Written Finding.
A neutral fact-finding examiner may also engage in conciliation and draft settlement agreements where appropriate.
