Watching the line: staff investigations, surveillance, and legal risk in Retail

Retail Risk – Sydney

Join James Pomeroy to discover how to protect your business whilst meeting your legal and ethical obligations…

Workplace investigations in retail are only becoming more complex, from growing regulatory scrutiny to the constant jostle of technology with privacy.

With this in mind, we’re delighted to announce that James Pomeroy, Special Counsel, Labour & Employment at Squire Patton Boggs, will be taking to the stage at Retail Risk – Sydney on 26th February.

In this session, James will delve into the legal and operational realities of investigating employee conduct and performance, with a sharp focus on surveillance, digital evidence and fairness. Drawing on real-world cases, he’ll explore where retailers get it right – and where well-intentioned investigations can quickly unravel.

Delegates will leave with greater confidence in how to investigate issues properly… without crossing legal or ethical lines.
