We provide advice and representation throughout all stages of an investigation.
Although usually we are brought in to assist an individual, a business or an organization which is under investigation, we are also instructed by businesses who wish to conduct internal investigations.
In the early stages of an investigation, advice is often needed in the hope that matters can be brought to a swift and effective early conclusion. Sometimes this is possible even to an extent that a prosecution can be avoided.
We will provide representation as well as advice throughout the course of the case.
Nearly all investigations involve an interview of some kind or another and a client will be particularly vulnerable if they are not represented at that early stage. Many cases are lost and won on the basis of what is or is not said in those early exchanges.
Generally speaking, cases are won and lost on preparation. We prepare cases for written submissions and for hearings and will often analyse large volumes of evidence during the course of this, as well as trace and interview witnesses who will be helpful to the case.
We have Advocates who are trained and experienced in presenting cases before Courts and Tribunals. Were it is appropriate to instruct a Barrister or a Queens Counsel (QC), we prepare instructions to Counsel and a Brief for them to present the case in Court.
We seek to combine expertise with approachability as we believe that it is of vital importance that there is a clear understanding and rapport between you and your solicitor.
