Contact
Confidential intake.
Sending information through this page does not create a client relationship and does not place us under any duty to act. Please do not send highly sensitive material through a public form or unencrypted email until a secure channel has been agreed. Every matter we accept is subject to written terms, conflict checks, and confirmation of a lawful purpose.
Initial contact is reviewed by senior counsel and operations in confidence. We respond within one business day. Where matters are time-sensitive, secure channels can be set up on request.

Secure communication
Encrypted and out-of-band channels
Encrypted channels — including Signal and separate (out-of-band) phone lines — are made available on request, ahead of substantive discussion. We do not require prospective clients to disclose sensitive details over unencrypted email.
Signal

Out-of-band telephony
Numbered lines provided to clients on engagement, separated from public contact channels.
Physical document handling
Couriered handling and in-person briefing arrangements available where digital transmission is contraindicated.
What to include
How to frame an initial contact
First contact does not need to disclose the matter in detail. We need only what is required to assess fit, identify the appropriate engagement lead, and confirm the absence of conflicts.
Who you are
Your role, organisation, and the capacity in which you are making contact (counsel, in-house, principal, adviser).
Capability area
Which line of capability the matter relates to — investigations, intelligence, warrant compliance, risk advisory, due diligence, or asset tracing.
Sensitivity & timing
A general indication of urgency and sensitivity. Specific facts can wait until non-disclosure is in place.
Preferred channel
How you wish to be contacted, and any constraints on that channel.
