Michael Comartin

Expert guidance through a complex workplace investigation

Our company recently faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of harassment and potential human rights violations. The situation was fraught with legal risk and required a nuanced understanding of both employment law and workplace dynamics. We engaged Michael Comartin at Goodmans LLP based on his strong reputation in labour and employment law. From our initial consultation, Michael demonstrated a deep command of the legal landscape, particularly in the areas of privacy and human rights, which were central to our case. His background at Ogletree Deakins, handling diverse employment matters, was evident in his strategic approach. He guided our internal team through the investigation process with precision, ensuring we complied with all legal obligations while protecting the company's interests. His advice on navigating the intersecting issues of accessibility standards and wage implications related to the involved parties was invaluable. The outcome was a resolved matter that minimized disruption and potential liability. His recognition in the field is well-deserved. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times from his direct line could occasionally stretch to a full business day, though his assistant was always prompt. Overall, Michael provided exactly the expert, steady counsel we needed during a challenging time.
