Case studies delivered.

Renewables

Due diligence on tender and team

Field was asked by a private equity firm to conduct enhanced pre-transaction due diligence on a renewable energy business.  We were asked to evaluate the tender process, specifically how a licence was granted to the target business.  We were asked to screen the management team for their commercial record, undeclared political connections and personal probity. 

Manufacturing

Supply chain integrity

Field was asked by a business manufacturing consumer goods out of recycled material to investigate their supply chain, specifically the plant where they sourced the recycled material. The manufacturer was concerned their supplier was inserting cheaper un-recycled material into their raw materials to maximise profit at the expense of the product’s integrity.

Tech

Investor due diligence

Field was asked by a major investment bank to conduct enhanced pre-transaction due diligence into a FinTech startup for emerging markets. The investigation focused on the startup’s founders and original investors.

CONSTRUCTION

ESG performance verification

Field was asked by a law firm on behalf of an unspecified client wanting to partner with a supplier of sustainable building materials to verify their performance claims. Field investigated their energy sourcing and usage, and their degree of commitment to stated ESG performance goals.

Food

Green-washing investigation

Field was asked by an investor to investigate possible greenwashing by a business claiming it had transitioned its sourcing away from suppliers generating carbon to only carbon neutral suppliers. Field was asked to investigate specific locations to establish whether local management were still dealing with their old suppliers and mixing the non-carbon neutral product into their supply chain while pocketing the difference between the old cost and the higher revenue they received to purchase the carbon neutral supplies.

Oil & Gas

Bribery and historic corruption

Field was asked by a disputes resolution law firm to investigate bribery in a tender process that materially adversely impacted their client. We were asked to investigate historic claims of wrong-doing by the subject to establish grounds for a broader action against the subject.

Services

Class action fraud investigation

Field was asked to support a class action lawsuit against a supplier of services that had overcharged clients as a policy by adding fraudulent additional charges to legitimate invoices. Field was asked to investigate who had established the policy, how efforts to reverse it were suppressed and to identify other victims of the scheme.

Industry

Waste management investigation

Field was asked by an investor to assess whether an industrial products manufacturer was engaging in greenwashing. Specifically, whether they disposed of waste material in the manner that they claimed. The investor wanted to take a stake in the business and was aware waste was produced but was concerned the subject was over-stating improvements in their process.

WATER

Pollution investigation

Field was asked by a law firm to investigate allegations of water pollution by a corporate entity in breach of its licence and legal and regulatory obligations. The undisclosed ultimate client was an NGO wanting information to support a suit against the company.

TEXTILES

Modern slavery investigation

Field was asked by a potential investor to assess the possibility of human rights abuse and potential breaches of the Modern Slavery Act in the supply chain of a textile manufacturer.

NON-PROFIT

Political/security risk assessment

Field was asked to assess the risk to a human rights NGO of continuing its operations in a country experiencing serious political unrest.

CONSUMER

Tax scam investigation

Field was asked to supplement in-house research by a hedge fund on corrupt practices in a listed business. The investigation focused on tax avoidance scams.

TECH

Harassment investigation

Field was asked by a private equity investor to examine the culture in a tech company following suggestions of founder-led discrimination and sexual harassment allegations.

CRYPTO

Asset trace

Field was asked by a litigation funder to conduct an asset tracing investigation into an investor and former cryptocurrency exchange operator. The funder wanted to identify owned assets by the subject individual and his network of companies across multiple European jurisdictions.

NON-PROFIT

Corruption profiling

Field was asked by an international NGO to conduct screenings of several hundred creditor individuals and entities in advance of a bankruptcy settlement involving one of its member organisations. Specifically, the international NGO wanted to ensure creditors with links to corrupt local politicians did not receive any settlement funds.

LOGISTICS

Cyber-fraud and asset trace

Field was asked by a law firm to investigate individuals involved in a multimillion-dollar cyber fraud scheme. The ultimate client was a commercial transportation company that wanted an assessment of where the funds had been hidden, whether they were recoverable and what amount had dissipated.

The best reports are always delivered in person. These case studies portray part of a picture, but if you would like to hear more about our experience and how it might help you, we would love to hear from you.
