About Kelsey A. Pautsch
I am an experienced litigation paralegal and independent workplace-investigations consultant with a proven track record supporting law firms and corporate clients through complex, high-stakes matters. My background includes end-to-end management of internal investigations, HR and EEO interviews, misconduct reviews, and risk-assessment projects across a range of industries, including healthcare, energy, technology, education, and nonprofit organizations.
I specialize in transforming unstructured information into clear, defensible deliverables. Whether I am supporting counsel during a sensitive employee interview, preparing litigation-ready documentation, or developing polished executive presentations summarizing investigative findings, my work focuses on accuracy, objectivity, and clarity.
Clients rely on me for:
- Independent, neutral third-party workplace investigations
- Witness interviews and interview transcription
- Timeline and fact-pattern analysis
- Document review and summarization
- Executive reports and board-ready slide decks
- Legal and HR compliance support
- Professional time-keeping and project management practices
What sets my approach apart is the balance of professionalism and humanity. Investigations often involve real people and real emotions, and I’m skilled at navigating those dynamics while preserving neutrality and integrity. My work helps organizations respond responsibly, protect employees, mitigate risk, and make informed decisions.
My mission is simple:
to deliver precise, reliable, and comprehensive investigative support so attorneys, HR leaders, and decision-makers can operate with confidence.
If your matter is sensitive, time-critical, or requires discreet handling — I’m here to help.
