A Leader In
Workplace
Investigations

National Investigation Counsel, founded 10 years ago by Linda Burwell, is a niche law firm engaged exclusively in providing high level independent workplace investigation services to law firms and in house counsel. National Investigation Counsel is typically engaged by the client’s outside or in-house counsel or board of directors. Drawing on her 30 years of experience as a leader in the employment law field, Ms. Burwell assists clients to respond quickly and effectively to complaints of workplace misconduct, including harassment, discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, #MeToo claims, ethics violations and others with a prompt, focused investigation that will position the client to best respond to and defend against the claim. Being an independent, who no longer litigates and who has no ties to any law firm, Ms. Burwell is a valuable resource to her clients, many of whom are former competitors and/or adversaries.
