A wealthy individual from the CIS region became suspicious about the motives of advisers administering their multi-million-pound investment portfolio. We examined the activities of the advisers and identified how their personal wealth had increased dramatically after they took over control of the client’s finances and how many of their personal investments had been secretly underwritten using the client’s funds. We built a large file of evidence and then worked with lawyers who were able to use this information to secure a multi-million pound out-of-court settlement.

We were engaged by lawyers involved in a long running business dispute and high-profile litigation. We compiled a detailed report on our client’s rival helping to explain his activities, behaviour and motivation. The evidence and information we gathered helped to shape the key questions and demands made by our client’s lawyers as they and their rivals prepared to fight it out in court.
