Reporting, explanation and reach

  • Reporting

    You receive a clear report in English with the findings, the substantiation and an explanation of the limitations of the investigation. Your organisation assesses the findings and decides on the next steps. If the report is submitted as evidence, the judge assesses its evidential value.

  • Explanation and aftercare

    We continue to support you after delivery. We answer questions about the findings, provide explanations to the lawyers involved or the court where necessary and, on request, arrange a sworn translation of the source documents.

  • 45 countries

    We have investigations carried out in 45 countries, within and outside Europe, in accordance with the legislation of the country concerned. The investigation options and required documents vary by country and by case. The investigation is carried out in compliance with the GDPR rules, the applicable privacy rules and local legislation.
