About SWI - Extensive employment law experience
Kari Hanson founded Sound Workplace Investigations (SWI) in October 2019. Paige Dietrich joined the company in September 2022. SWI is not a law firm and does not provide legal services, but Kari and Paige are licensed employment attorneys with many years of experience working for the Washington State Attorney General’s office; they draw on that experience in conducting investigations.
We help employers mitigate risk, hold employees accountable, and further a professional, respectful workplace.
Located in Olympia, our particular focus is on assisting South Sound employers; however, we also conduct investigations statewide.
