Brief / CIG-SVC-04

Corporate intelligence, investigations and litigation support

Our investigators include former financial regulators, prosecutors, government intelligence analysts and forensic accountants. We take on the questions that internal teams cannot answer without independence.

Investigations are won on sequencing. We plan the order of inquiry so that the subject is not alerted before the evidence is preserved, and so that each step narrows the hypothesis set rather than merely adding documents.

§ 01Method

DOMAIN / INV

REVIEW / HUMAN-ADJUDICATED

01
Hypothesis-led case planning
We define the competing explanations at the outset and design collection to discriminate between them. This keeps scope controlled and prevents the common failure mode of an investigation that accumulates material without resolving the question.
02
Digital and OSINT collection
Infrastructure attribution, historic domain and hosting records, credential and breach corpora, device and account artefacts, and multilingual open-source collection — captured with timestamping and hash integrity so the material survives challenge.
03
Financial and on-chain tracing
Funds are followed across banking layers, corporate vehicles, professional intermediaries and blockchains. Clustering, bridge and mixer analysis, and off-ramp identification connect on-chain movement to real-world custody where it exists.
04
Human inquiry
Where lawful and proportionate, discreet source inquiry, former-insider interviews and field verification confirm what documents only imply. Every engagement operates within a written legal and ethical boundary agreed before work begins.
05
Packaging for action
Findings are assembled for the venue that will use them — counsel, a board committee, an insurer, a regulator or law enforcement — with exhibits indexed and provenance recorded.
