Claire Dinwiddie, an associate in the Labor & Employment Practice Group in the New Orleans office, authored the article "When Investigating Isn't Enough: 5th Circuit Highlights Importance of Being Thorough," published by HR Daily Advisor on July 22, 2026. The article focuses on the recent decision by the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in Brenyah v. Columbia Hospital Corp. of Bay Area d/b/a Corpus Christi Medical Center. Claire discusses an employers' need to respond to claims of harassment between co-workers beyond just providing a workplace investigation. While employers generally aren't responsible for every inappropriate comment made in the workplace, the court ruled that once the employer learns about the harassment, they must respond in a way that is reasonably likely to stop it.
