About Me
Jennifer Nelson
Investigator for High-Stakes Cases
Before opening my own workplace investigations business, I spent 20 years exclusively practicing employment law in large national law firms, litigating single-plaintiff and class action lawsuits on behalf of corporations and smaller businesses. My work in the litigation trenches gave me a deep understanding of what is at stake for organizations in an investigation, ensuring that I do it well, and right, the first time. A thorough and fair investigation can prevent a lot of turmoil down the road, and it is my mission to do everything I can to ensure that happens, as it has been my experience that there is no real victor in a lawsuit.
My litigation experience also gave me the ability to navigate complex situations and extract crucial information in high-pressure environments while remaining undaunted by powerful or difficult people, which uniquely qualifies me to handle large-scale investigations at the C-Suite level. In addition to this experience, I have a natural talent for making people feel comfortable and heard, which is invaluable when conducting interviews in sensitive or high-stakes environments. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and understanding what makes them tick, allowing me to build trust and transparency.
Further, my talent for writing and synthesizing large amounts of information helps me make even the most complicated
stories clear, ensuring a concise, well-supported narrative. Perhaps most importantly, I bring genuine empathy to my work, recognizing that many individuals involved in investigations are simply trying to do their best within complex systems. This human-centric approach, combined with my legal acumen, allows me to handle the most challenging cases with professionalism and care, always striving for a fair and equitable resolution for all parties involved.
