Workplace Investigations — Southwestern Ontario
Workplace Investigations in London, Ontario
London employers — from LHSC's hospital floors to Western University's campus — need investigators who understand the intersection of employment law with professional regulation and academic governance. We bring that expertise at rates that make sense for Southwestern Ontario, not Bay Street.
London's Employment Landscape
London is Southwestern Ontario's largest city and a major healthcare and education hub, anchored by London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph's Health Care, and Western University. The city's insurance sector (London Life, Canada Life) and manufacturing base round out a diverse economy. London's healthcare employers face unique investigation challenges — complaints involving patient-facing staff, professional regulatory bodies (CNO, CPSO), and the intersection of employment law with healthcare licensing. Western University's large workforce adds academic investigation dynamics — tenure, academic freedom, and student-employee relationships.

Regulatory Context for London Employers
London healthcare employers must consider professional regulatory body obligations.

These parallel reporting obligations must be coordinated with the employment investigation.
