01 / Our work

Facts, context
and a clearer picture.

We establish facts, examine relationships and assess risks to support transactions, disputes and other sensitive decisions.

01

Understand a company’s ownership, reputation and commercial relationships ahead of a transaction or engagement. Documentary research and discreet source enquiries bring its track record, leadership and potential risks into focus.

Examined an acquisition target’s leadership, client standing, governance, disputes and potential non-financial risks ahead of a transaction.

Investigations & dispute support

Establish facts in sensitive situations through targeted research, discreet interviews and document retrieval. Support includes internal investigations, litigation research and establishing corporate and commercial relationships.

Selected experience / Competition and litigation / Brazil and Colombia

Analysed antitrust records, significant disputes, settlements and operational incidents affecting a multinational minerals producer.

Identify assets and the people or entities connected to them. Corporate, property and litigation records, supported by discreet source enquiries, help map ownership structures and investigate asset connections across jurisdictions.

Selected experience / Cross-border asset tracing

Traced corporate interests, property links, litigation and other recovery leads across Latin America and Europe, directing further registry and enforcement research.

Political & regulatory intelligence

Assess the forces shaping a market, sector or investment. Enquiries with government, regulatory and industry sources help explain policy developments, stakeholder relationships and the implications for business.

Selected experience / Infrastructure and urban mobility / Brazil
