I’m interested in speaking with individuals who have:
* 15+ years’ experience in investigations, disputes advisory, forensic services, litigation support, or complex financial inquiries
* A credible and portable client following across law firms, corporates, financial institutions, private capital, or private clients
* A track record of leading complex, cross-border matters
* Strong experience producing robust investigative work suitable for contentious proceedings
* A commercial mindset and appetite for building and scaling practices
