S-RM’s Disputes & Investigations practice provides specialist investigative support to clients in a range of contentious situations including litigation, international arbitration, internal investigations and during a crisis. Seated between EMEA (London), the US (New York and Washington D.C.) and Asia (Singapore and Hong Kong), the team has acted for some of the world’s largest corporations and leading business figures, instructed either directly or through external counsel. The firm routinely works on sensitive investigations and complex legal cases, supporting clients through a combination of advanced open-source investigation, discreet human intelligence gathering, physical surveillance, and the forensic analysis of digital evidence. 

The practice operates globally, leveraging S-RM’s international footprint of 8 offices and 400 employees speaking 40+ languages. It has developed a particular reputation for supporting high-value disputes with a nexus in Russia/CIS (particularly Ukraine), the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa. Global asset recovery is a core skill within the D&I practice, from early-stage recoverability analysis to the enforcement of judgments and awards. In this context, S-RM routinely investigates sovereigns and SOEs, providing political insight and intelligence to support arguments around sovereign immunity and alter ego.
