At Hawkins Lang and Price, we support organizations in addressing complex complaints and organizational challenges with clarity, fairness, and sound judgment. Through workplace investigations, assessments, training, and dispute resolution, our lawyers deliver objective, actionable insights—without unnecessary disruption—so organizations can make confident, defensible decisions.

Our Expertise

When workplace concerns arise, how you respond matters. We partner with employers to deliver fair, timely, and respectful workplace investigations that bring clarity, reduce risk, and support healthy work environments. Our highly experienced lawyer-investigators take a calm, practical, and trauma-informed approach. Each investigation is tailored to the organization and issues at hand, with a focus on procedural fairness, dignity, and legally defensible, actionable findings.

Workplace Investigations

Through workplace mediation and alternative dispute resolution, we help organizations resolve conflict efficiently and constructively. Our skilled lawyer-mediators create a respectful, collaborative environment where participants can address issues openly and work toward practical outcomes. With a focus on problem solving and durable solutions, we support parties in resolving disputes while preserving working relationships and minimizing cost, delay, and disruption.

Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

We help sports organizations address sensitive issues with confidence. Our lawyers provide thorough, impartial, and confidential investigations, drawing on experience in sports settings. Trained in interviewing minors and handling matters such as grooming, manipulation, sexual violence, and other forms of maltreatment, we deliver clear insights and help leaders resolve issues effectively while maintaining safety, integrity, and trust.

Sports Investigations

We deliver engaging, practical training that helps employees and leaders understand legal and policy expectations and respond effectively to harassment, discrimination, violence, and other workplace concerns. Led by experienced workplace lawyers, our sessions provide real-world tools, and are tailored to your organization, people, and goals. We balance legal insight with interactive discussion to ensure training is relevant, accessible, and immediately applicable—whether addressing respectful workplaces practices, investigation processes, or regulatory requirements.

Training & Coaching

Workplace issues rarely appear overnight. Our assessments and reviews help organizations identify concerns early—before they escalate. Using a confidential, neutral, and tailored approach, our lawyers assess workplace culture, practices, and behaviours through interviews, surveys, and policy reviews. Designed to minimize disruption while encouraging open participation, these assessments deliver clear, actionable insights and practical recommendations that support informed decision making and positive change.
