Practices & engagements

Work product built to be examined.

Establish what the record supports, test what is disputed, and document it clearly enough for counsel, a board, or a court to follow.

Practices

Three practices. One discipline.

  1. Litigation & Disputes

    Complex factual investigation for litigation, defense, employment, civil-rights, and commercial practices, including preparation for deposition, mediation, and trial.

    • Chronology & timeline reconstruction
    • Evidence mapped to source
    • Witness & statement analysis
    • Digital-evidence review

  2. Internal & Administrative Investigations

    Independent or supplemental investigation of workplace, misconduct, disciplinary, and other sensitive matters.

    • Independent fact development
    • Professional-standards support
    • Review of completed investigations
    • Process & documentation review

  3. Due Diligence & Risk Advisory

    Fact development and risk identification before money moves, papers are signed, or a person is placed in a position of trust.

    • Counterparty & principal background
    • Public-record & litigation history
    • Asset & ownership verification
    • Pre-litigation factual assessment

The entry point

The Matter Assessment.

A defined, fixed-scope review of one matter, for clients who want to see the work before considering a standing relationship.

The questions it answers

  • What does the record actually establish, and on what source?
  • Where do accounts, documents, and digital evidence conflict?
  • What remains unresolved, and which gaps would change the analysis?
  • What investigative work, if any, is worth commissioning next?

What you receive

  • Executive findings memorandum
  • Working chronology
  • Gap analysis
  • Recommended next steps

Scope, timeline, and fee are fixed in writing before work begins. Findings are delivered in a briefing with the principal.

Engagement models

A standing relationship, with defined scopes.

Clients are not buying investigative hours. They are buying readiness, judgment, and work product they can act on. Every fee is set by scope and discussed privately.

  1. Annual Investigative Advisory

    The core relationship

    Standing access to senior investigative judgment, conflict-checked and oriented before a matter becomes urgent.

  2. Matter Assessment

    The entry point

    A defined independent review of one matter, delivered as an executive findings memorandum with recommended next steps.

  3. Litigation Investigation Support

    Investigative work alongside counsel through the life of a matter: chronology, evidence map, interviews, and identified gaps.

  4. Independent Fact Review

    Neutral investigation of an internal matter, or review of a completed investigation, with the documented basis for each finding.

  5. Due Diligence & Risk Review

    A documented diligence report with risk indicators, suitable for file retention.

Unusual or sensitive matters that do not fit a standard scope are defined in writing before work begins.

Every engagement begins with a conflict review and a written scope.

Initial inquiries need only enough to evaluate fit. Please do not send confidential material.
