Utah’s Premier Law Firm for Workplace Investigations and Conflict Resolution
When a workplace complaint is serious, the investigation needs to be independent, privileged, and litigation-ready.
Our Principal Attorney, Shaunda McNeill, has over a decade of litigation experience and a deep knowledge of employment law, which she draws upon in conducting workplace investigations. In the words of a client, she is “exceptionally thorough, fair, and neutral, demonstrating the highest standards of impartiality throughout the process.”
Shaunda also offers employment-related mediation and arbitration services in Utah and other jurisdictions.
Accord Solutions Group partners with HR professionals and other mediators to ensure your organization can meet all of its needs for workplace training, coaching, and conflict resolution.

Shaunda McNeill
Principal Attorney and Founder
Shaunda McNeill is an employment attorney with more than a decade of litigation experience and a firm conviction that the best outcomes rarely come from the courtroom.
After years litigating employment disputes in state and federal court, representing employers before the Utah Labor Commission and EEOC, conducting privileged workplace investigations, and advising clients on employment law matters, Shaunda founded Accord Solutions Group to specialize in workplace investigations and employment-related conflict resolution.
She believes that the early stages of workplace conflict provide a critical window in which organizations can take decisive action to prevent loss of productivity, loss of talent, and burdensome and risky litigation. She takes great pride in helping employers get to the root of their workplace problems and in helping organizations and parties resolve their conflicts and disputes.
Shaunda earned her J.D. magna cum laude from Duke University School of Law and is licensed in Utah and California. She is trained in transformative mediation and currently serves as President of the Labor & Employment Section of the Utah State Bar.
