Our neutral, legally defensible investigations handle harassment, discrimination, bullying, retaliation, and more with confidentiality, fairness, and rapid execution, plus support for restoring workplace trust afterward.

Privacy & Information Management

We help organizations ensure compliance with PIPA, ATIA, and HIA; respond to access requests, and complete Privacy Gaps Assessments and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA). We also offer expert training in Alberta’s evolving privacy legislation from FOIP to the new ATIA and PPA via half and full-day seminars, virtual or in-person formats.
