Munger, Tolles & Olson is a trusted advisor to leading companies as well as schools in investigating allegations of inappropriate workplace conduct by employees or of inappropriate campus conduct by faculty or students. We have one of the most significant internal investigations practices in the world, and offer a unique combination of investigatory skill, crisis management, and the ability to coordinate with investigations by local authorities as needed, as well as assist in media and publicity management.

Complex Litigation, Trials, and Appeals

We have deep experience leading complex litigation, trials, and appeals, including for lawsuits alleging negligence and other claims related to sexual assault and misconduct.

Internal Investigations

Our lawyers spend a significant amount of their practice counseling their clients and working on internal investigations, which has also led them to develop strong skills handling sensitive and difficult issues with diplomacy and compassion. We are frequently called upon to lead confidential investigations arising out of the #metoo movement involving allegations of inappropriate workplace conduct.

Reputation Management

We have deep experience in handling high profile matters where the PR aspect of the case is as important as the legal arguments. We routinely advise leading companies and educational institutions on communications strategies related to the sexual misconduct and we are well-versed in the myriad sensitivities and public perception around this issue.

Compliance

We have extensive experience representing organizations in their handling of sexual misconduct claims. We counsel clients on compliance, including recommending changes to policies and procedures for investigating and resolving sexual misconduct allegations.
