Investigative Consulting & Evidence Development
Licensed investigative work directed by the strategy of the case—focused on the witnesses, records, transactions, locations, and factual questions that can materially affect the outcome.
Investigative Consulting
Build the investigation from the case record
Whole-case analysis often reveals the exact witness, record, transaction, date, location, or contradiction that requires further work. Investigation can then be limited to the factual questions most likely to strengthen, test, or change the strategy.
Assignments may be performed independently or in coordination with attorneys and law firms. Findings are documented so counsel can evaluate their relevance, admissibility, and use within the litigation strategy.
- Witness identification, location, background, and interviews
- Public-record, business-record, and litigation-history research
- Financial, transaction, ownership, and asset-related analysis
- Field verification, surveillance, and condition documentation
- Domestic and international investigative coordination
Litigation Investigation
Develop facts and evidence relevant to claims, defenses, damages, credibility, notice, causation, ownership, conduct, and disputed events. Work may include witness development, record acquisition, background research, interviews, field checks, surveillance, and source analysis.
The scope is tied to the litigation strategy and can be updated as discovery and testimony reveal new questions.
Fraud & Financial Investigations
Examine entities, relationships, transactions, representations, ownership interests, public filings, litigation history, and available financial indicators to identify inconsistencies, undisclosed connections, and potential fund-flow issues.
Findings can be incorporated into a chronology and evidence map for counsel review and further discovery planning.
Witness & Credibility Development
Locate and evaluate witnesses, determine likely knowledge, compare prior statements and records, identify relationships and interests, and develop interview topics relevant to the case theory.
Attorney-directed assignments may also support deposition preparation, impeachment development, and follow-up investigation after testimony.
Asset, Ownership & Entity Research
Research real property, business interests, corporate filings, litigation, liens, judgments, related entities, and available ownership indicators to support collection, fraud, family-law, probate, and commercial matters.
Due Diligence & Risk Consulting
Evaluate the people, entities, litigation, ownership, reputation, operational claims, and warning signs surrounding a proposed transaction, investment, partnership, or business relationship.
The work is organized around the client's decision and the risks that must be verified before proceeding.
International Investigative Support
When lawful and practical, local resources and field methods may be coordinated outside the United States. Each assignment is evaluated for jurisdiction, licensing, privacy, cost, reliability, and the lawful method of documenting information.
Begin with the strategic question
Identify the decision, allegation, defense, witness, transaction, or evidentiary gap the investigation must address.
Counsel review: Investigative findings and recommendations should be evaluated by licensed counsel before they are used for legal conclusions, pleadings, discovery, evidentiary decisions, settlement positions, or court submissions.
