GPW provides investigative support and strategic advice in the context of large-scale complex, cross-border commercial disputes and transactions.

Whilst GPW has experience conducting investigations globally, the expertise of the London-based team predominantly lies in Russia, the CIS, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. The Middle East and Asia are covered locally by our international offices.

Typical assignments include:

• Evidence gathering in the context of anticipated or ongoing litigation and arbitration claims;
• Proving jurisdiction for proposed counterparties in litigation;
• Mapping the assets of sovereigns, companies and individuals to facilitate the enforcement of court and tribunal decisions and awards (see Asset Recovery);
• Internal and external investigations into corruption, fraud or malpractice;
• Identification of expert witnesses
• Due diligence and sanctions reviews on commercial counterparties; and

• Transaction intelligence and support.

GPW is well-versed in obtaining information on companies and individuals, including making full use of public record databases and navigating diverse regulatory, legal and political landscapes.

As a firm, GPW applies the highest ethical standards, whilst ensuring evidence will withstand scrutiny by the courts or tribunals at a later stage. Our work product has been used in support of LCIA, ICSID, SCC, ICC, and various commercial court claims around the globe. This has included underlying evidence, GPW reports, affidavits and witness testimony.
