Quiet. Defensible.
Court‑ready.
Boutique corporate investigations for the issues that can't go through HR alone.
Four practice areas.
One standard of evidence.
Corporate-only. Every engagement built around the same principle: discreet inquiry, sourced product.
Executive Due Diligence
A defensible portrait of who you are about to trust with the company — not a $35 records check.
- 01Credential & litigation verification
- 02Undisclosed business interests
- 03Reputational & adverse-media review
Internal Investigations
When the complaint involves someone above HR — or carries litigation exposure — an independent investigator is no longer optional.
- 01Allegations against senior leadership
- 02Internal fraud & conflicts of interest
- 03Data exfiltration at offboarding
Vendor & Third-Party Integrity
Before the signature. We unwind shell structures, surface real beneficial owners, and flag PEP exposure.
- 01Shell company unmasking
- 02Beneficial-ownership mapping
- 03PEP & sanctions exposure
Litigation Support
The investigative arm of trial counsel — witness location, post-judgment tracing, opposing-party intelligence.
- 01Witness location & interview support
- 02Post-judgment asset tracing
- 03Trial-exhibit-grade documentation
How we work — and why it holds up.
Speed without defensibility is malpractice. We protect both — through method, not heroics.
Privileged intake
Scope and ethical constraints framed under counsel — before a single record is pulled.
Source-of-record collection
Court records, registries, licensed brokers. Every artifact hashed and timestamped.
Human inquiry
Senior investigator on the ground. No pretexting, no fake profiles, no grey techniques.
Defensible work product
Cited findings, chain-of-custody log, an investigator deposable on every line.
Operating boundaries
If a technique would create counterclaim exposure for the client, we don't use it.
