The Role
Complex pre-transaction and strategic due diligence
Fraud, misconduct, and integrity investigations
Disputes and litigation-support assignments
High-risk market entry and counterparty assessments
Engagements are typically cross-border, time-sensitive, and judgment-driven, requiring discretion, independence of thought, and the ability to operate without heavy institutional scaffolding.

Big 4 forensic, disputes, investigations, or risk advisory practices
Large consulting or accounting firms with exposure to sensitive matters
Senior advisory or research-led roles supporting boards, GCs, or investment committees
Ideal candidates will bring:
Proven experience leading investigations or diligence engagements end-to-end
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including report sign-off
Sound commercial judgement and an understanding of risk, reputation, and enforcement dynamics
You do not need to have spent your career in a pure investigations firm. Candidates transitioning from broader advisory environments are actively encouraged.
