The Washington Redskins organization has retained Wilkinson Walsh, founded by prominent trial lawyer Beth Wilkinson, to assess its "culture" and possible workplace misconduct, Wilkinson confirmed in a statement on Thursday.

In an email to Law.com, Wilkinson said the firm "firm was retained by the team to do an independent review of the team's culture, policies and allegations of workplace misconduct."

Details of her engagement came just hours before a report from The Washington Post alleging sexual harassment against former team executives.
