Wagener Law is a law firm devoted exclusively to workplace investigations.

Distinguished Team

Our team of professional attorney investigators is incomparable.  We are proud alumni of the employment law departments of some of the nation’s most distinguished law firms, including O’Melveny & Myers, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Paul Hastings, and Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton. We have learned to produce work product under the most uncompromising of standards, which we demonstrate through the quality of our investigations and the reliability of our results.

We also have substantial experience working as in-house attorneys for some of the most successful and respected companies in the country.  This provides another unique and beneficial perspective to our investigations.  We work adeptly within diverse corporate environments and treat all individuals involved in investigations with professionalism and respect.

Unparalleled Expertise

Our investigations expertise is exceptional.  Because we have spent nearly 15 years exclusively focused on investigations, we have handled virtually every type of workplace issue.  Our experience ranges from relatively common matters, such as allegations of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, to high-profile, high-exposure, complex investigations where clients have needed the top caliber of workplace investigators.

Because of our geographic proximity to Los Angeles, we have developed special expertise involving cases arising out of TV and film productions, including issues involving company executives, celebrities, and other high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry.  We understand the unique challenges of conducting investigations in the entertainment industry context, from systemic bias allegations to #MeToo claims.

Judgment and Integrity

Hiring the right investigations firm is an important decision, and we recognize the enormous faith our clients place in our judgment and integrity.  Investigations must not only pass muster before a judge or jury—they also must potentially withstand intense media and public scrutiny.  Clients trust us to deliver superior-quality investigations that are credible and defensible.

Through meticulous and dynamic investigation planning, we ensure a thorough yet efficient investigation.  We carefully evaluate all parties’ points of view to ensure a fair process and well-reasoned conclusions.  Our fidelity to making impartial, evidence-based findings with intellectual honesty has given us a reputation for investigations of the highest class.

Clients

We have proudly served a diverse array of clients.  These include Fortune 500 companies who on occasion need an independent investigator to evaluate misconduct issues concerning executives or involving the potential for significant legal or public relations exposure.  We also work with small to mid-sized companies who might lack internal personnel or expertise to conduct a timely or effective internal investigation on their own.  We also have deep entertainment industry experience and regularly work with studios and production companies of all sizes.
