Sector 02 — Legal & Litigation
Investigative and intelligence support to law firms acting under privilege.
Evidence-grade investigation, intelligence, and asset tracing in support of pre-litigation, litigation, arbitration, and enforcement matters — operated under counsel direction.
Engagement context
How we work with law firms
We act as an instructed third-party provider to counsel, with privilege established and protected from intake. Our role is to deliver fact, evidence, and intelligence to the standard required by the proceeding — not to advise on legal strategy, which remains the province of instructing counsel.
Engagements span common-law and civil-law jurisdictions, commercial and investor-state arbitration, criminal defence, white-collar matters, and post-judgment enforcement.
Typical matters
What law firms engage us for
Pre-litigation investigation
Fact-finding, witness location, and document authentication ahead of filing.
Litigation & arbitration support
Evidence gathering, factual reconstruction, and expert-grade intelligence during proceedings.
Asset tracing for recovery
Identification and mapping of assets to support freezing, preservation, and enforcement.
Counterparty & opponent intelligence
Lawful intelligence on the conduct, networks, and exposures of opposing parties and key witnesses.
White-collar & criminal defence
Independent investigative support to defence teams, including alternative-hypothesis development.
Internal investigations under privilege
Counsel-directed inquiries into employee, officer, or third-party conduct.
Operating standard
How we engage counsel
Privilege protected
Engagements are structured to preserve legal privilege from intake through closure.
Evidentiary standards
Methods, chain of custody, and reporting are aligned to the standards of the relevant proceeding.
Local jurisdictional alignment
Where work spans jurisdictions, we coordinate with local counsel rather than substitute for it.
Witness-ready output
Where lawful and required, our personnel can support deposition, witness statements, and expert testimony.
