The Risk Advisory Group

Prepare. Grow. Respond.

Risk Advisory has been advising clients for more than 25 years. We offer a global service with offices in London, New York, Washington, DC., Zurich, Moscow and Singapore. Our experienced and multidisciplinary team of investigators and regional specialists includes former lawyers, journalists, academics, and government officials, as well as those with commercial and sector backgrounds. We combine rigorous research and creative investigative strategies with the language capabilities, country-specific knowledge and established networks of our regionally-focused teams.

We gather intelligence and evidence for counsel teams and clients engaged in commercial litigation or arbitration, and conduct investigations into allegations of corruption, fraud, tax evasion, sanctions breaches and other corporate misconduct.

We may be engaged at the outset and throughout the life-cycle of a matter, with a broad remit and a close working relationship with the counsel team; or at a specific point in proceedings, with a narrower scope of work and a specific fact-finding objective in mind.

Our team includes qualified private practice lawyers and expert investigators with experience across a range of geographies and sectors. We provide our clients with a cost-effective investigative solution and often work alongside forensic accountants, digital forensic specialists and public relations consultants.

Disputes and Investigations

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.

Asset tracing and enforcement

We support legal counsel and their clients to enforce judgments and arbitral awards against sovereigns, companies and individuals. We identify and secure admissible evidence related to the asset position of a defendant or respondent party for clients seeking to assess the financial viability of a claim at an early stage, or to develop an enforcement strategy post-judgment.

Witness identification and interviews

We locate, evaluate and interview individuals who may be defendants or factual witnesses in the context of legal proceedings, or as part of an internal investigation.
