Kevin P. Hudson

My background includes service as a police detective, alongside a First-Class Law degree and experience as a paralegal. This combination allows me to bring a structured, evidence-led and legally aware approach to your workplace investigation requirements.

Every investigation that I conduct for you adheres to three overarching principles to ensure sound internal decision-making and, where required, tribunal-ready defensibility.

1.

Independent & Fair

2.

Evidence-Led

3.

Robust & Quality-Assured

Fixed- Fee Investigations.

Complex.

£4,500+

When senior staff or complex allegations of misconduct are involved, the standard of investigation must be exceptionally high.

Includes:

  • Senior-level handling of misconduct, discrimination, whistleblowing, or internal fraud cases

  • Multiple parties and complex allegation structures

  • Optional liaison with legal or HR advisors

  • High-scrutiny, tribunal-ready investigative report built for external challenge
