02 The Firm

Who, exactly, are you dealing with?

FIRM is an independent investigations practice. We are instructed by banks, family offices, law firms and companies when something needs to be established as fact — before capital moves, before a contract is signed, or once a dispute has already started. Independent, discreet, and on flat terms.

01

Corporate investigations

Fraud, internal misconduct, IP leakage and supply-chain integrity — investigated quietly and reported in full.

02

Asset tracing & litigation support

Where the money went, who holds it now, and the evidence your counsel needs to go after it.

03

Background & counterparty enquiry

The people and companies on the other side of a deal or an appointment — investigated, not merely searched.

04

Due diligence & screening

Source of wealth, beneficial ownership through every layer, sanctions, PEP and adverse media — at onboarding and after.

INDEPENDENT · DISCREET · CONFLICT-CHECKED · NO SUCCESS FEES

03 Strategy

One method. Every mandate.

  1. 01

    Intake & conflicts

    Scope agreed, conflicts cleared, lawful basis on file — before a single query runs.

  2. 02

    Field enquiry & verification

    Registers, court files, archives, specialised sources and human enquiry — gathered lawfully, every finding traced to its origin.

  3. 03

    Analysis

    Weighed by senior specialists, not a score. False matches die here; real risk does not.

  4. 04

    Reporting

    A clear judgement with the evidence attached — ready for your board, your bank, your counsel or your regulator.

04 Case studies

The work, anonymised

01Litigation support

The money had moved three times

A judgement debtor who claimed to hold nothing. We traced the proceeds through two corporate layers and a family trust, and put the holdings on the record.

OutcomeEnforcement resumed against identified, documented assets.
02Private banking

Source of wealth, established

A twenty-year-old exit no one could document. We rebuilt it from registries and notarial archives in three countries.

OutcomeOnboarding approved on a fully sourced file.
03Family office

The counterparty behind the deal

Two holding layers deep, an undisclosed lawsuit around a key principal — found before signature, not after.

OutcomeTerms renegotiated before signing.
