We bring the full breadth of our intelligence gathering capabilities to support our clients in the context of litigation and disputes, and undertake investigations focused on obtaining actionable intelligence providing leverage in negotiations and arbitration.
We work with legal advisers and in-house investigators to identify, verify and corroborate information in the context of litigation and disputes.
This includes obtaining evidence that can be used in court, identifying assets, mapping corporate structures, locating interested parties, surveillance, document retrieval and analysis and communications reviews.
We guide and inform our clients to enable them to formulate winning strategies.
We take a creative approach to investigations and information gathering but will only work within strict compliance of local laws and best practise guidelines.
We assess all available options for information gathering including surveillance and undercover operations.
We have significant experience conducting site visits and undertaking security assessments and travel widely in the service of our clients.
We help clients to pursue and recover misappropriated funds by identifying and mapping assets across the world.
We collect and analyse data to help track the movement of these assets, demonstrate their command and control, assess each asset for its attractiveness, and find pressure points to assist our clients in their pursuit of damages. We leverage our full suite of investigative tools and expertise in intelligence gathering to swiftly devise creative solutions that are likely to be effective and actionable.
We map complex corporate structures, onshore and off shore, to identify ownership and control of opaque business arrangements and work with forensic accountants to analyse money flows and suspicious transactions. Often conducted alongside asset-tracing and complex due diligence, we build persuasive, evidence-based arguments often as part of litigation or in the course of a dispute.
CRI has conducted over 60 internal investigations including complex cross border, legally privileged cases on FCPA matters, procurement fraud, embezzlement, sexual harassment, racial and religious discrimination
