Headquartered in London with offices in Cape Town, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro, Utrecht, Singapore, New York, Manchester and Washington, D.C., S-RM supports clients by providing intelligence that informs critical decision-making and strategies.

• S-RM has a dedicated Deal Advisory practice that provides specialist pre-transactional advisory support to clients. S-RM’s intelligence is deployed ahead of investments, M&A, capital markets transactions, joint venture partnerships, market entry, and other high-value commercial decisions. The practice provides investigative due diligence and adjacent services to leading private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, investment banks, institutional investors, and law firms.
• The firm’s Cyber Security practice was established in 2014 to provide cyber advisory, cyber incident response, digital forensics, cyber due diligence and cyber testing support to clients. The team works with many of the world’s largest insurance companies and private equity firms that are looking for support to improve cyber resilience and readiness in response to cyber crises.
• Our Strategic Intelligence practice supports clients across a wide spectrum of industries. These include close collaboration with in-house intelligence teams at several major global corporations, large extractive sector clients, and the insurance sector, where we have a particularly close working relationship with AXA XL, the subsidiary of global insurance and reinsurance company AXA. We support AXA XL’s special risks underwriting teams by providing political violence and travel security intelligence analysis.
• In addition to its Deal Advisory, Strategic Intelligence, and Cyber Security practices, S-RM has a Disputes & Investigations team which deploys intelligence in litigation, international arbitration, internal investigations and fraud-related investigations.
