About Malone Lankford, AWI-CH
Malone Lankford is an experienced employment attorney specializing in conducting neutral workplace investigations and providing employment law training. She is licensed in Texas, where she spent ten years as a litigator with a global employment law firm, Littler Mendelson, P.C. During that time, Malone conducted countless investigations into employee allegations in the context of discrimination/harassment charges and litigation.
Currently, as a neutral investigator, Malone regularly investigates time-sensitive complaints involving alleged discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and code of conduct policy violations. She provides expert, prompt, and objective workplace investigation solutions for companies and the attorneys representing them.
Malone’s background gives her a deep understanding of how the quality of a workplace investigation can affect litigation. Malone’s years of defending employers provided insight into how an isolated complaint can escalate into a costly lawsuit if not investigated properly and by a qualified and unbiased individual. From putting interviewees at ease to managing highly sensitive matters, Malone brings a thorough, impartial, and human-centered approach to every investigation.
She is a Certificate Holder of the Association of Workplace Investigators (AWI), the premier national organization for professionals in the workplace investigations field, and regularly participates in specialized conferences and webinars to remain at the forefront of emerging developments and best practices in workplace investigations.
Outside Malone’s legal work, you will probably find her either behind a microphone or in the saddle. She is a nationally syndicated radio personality and an overly proud dog mom to Bernie, who remains unconvinced, despite Malone’s ongoing efforts, that fetch is worth his time.
