About

Provided by The Risk Advisory Group

Business Intelligence and Investigations

We work with in-house legal and compliance teams who require investigative expertise and an independent perspective when reacting to issues that affect their organisation and situations that could develop into legal, reputational or commercial risks (for example allegations about potential misconduct, or bribery and corruption). We have particular experience in supporting clients who are conducting internal investigations - often when responding to whistleblower allegations or reports of internal wrongdoing - where there is a need for independent investigation and intelligence gathering on the ground in the jurisdiction in question.

Litigation and arbitration support

We obtain intelligence and admissible evidence to guide decision-making, inform the development of the legal strategy and ultimately strengthen our clients’ position in a dispute, wherever it may lead.

Internal investigations support

We conduct early-stage fact finding to assist in the triage of a concern or set of allegations, and manage independent investigations into instances of reported bribery, corruption, conflicts of interest, fraud, tax evasion. sanctions breaches and other issues presenting legal or reputational risks, including supply chain and ESG-related matters.
