Thirty-Five Years at the Intersection of Employment Law, Corporate Governance, and Executive Leadership
After more than three decades navigating the highest levels of corporate accountability, Kevin Wolff founded HR Investigations to provide organizations with an entirely independent asset for their most critical matters.
Mr. Wolff’s career spans 35 years practicing law and in corporate leadership. He began in private law practice specializing in employment advice, counsel, and high-stakes litigation. From there, Mr. Wolff spent decades inside major corporations serving in dual legal and operational capacities—including as Chief Employment and Litigation Counsel, Chief Human Resources Officer, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. He currently serves as an Adjunct Professor at Emory University School of Law and Of Counsel to a Florida-based employment law practice.
Having sat at the executive table and advised boards of directors through complex decisions, Mr. Wolff speaks the language of governance. He understands the realities of institutional risk, fiduciary duty, and corporate politics. This background ensures that no matter how high-ranking the individual or how complex the allegation, the investigation is conducted with absolute rigor, total legal precision, and peer-to-peer authority.
Mr. Wolff’s combination of experience qualifies him exceptionally well for complex workplace investigations. He has conducted hundreds of investigations into alleged misconduct at all levels of an organization from the point of view of a company executive reporting to a board of directors, outside counsel, inside counsel, and human resources professional. Moreover, Mr. Wolff is credentialed as a Workplace Investigations Specialist by the Society of Human Resources Management.
