Assets rarely exist in isolation. Their value and vulnerability are shaped by the quality of information, institutions, infrastructure, regulation and political environment surrounding them.
We examine these wider systems to help clients understand where value sits, what may put it at risk, and how decisions and transactions can be independently tested and understood.
Our work can include:
Emerging-market and institutional risk — assessing regulatory, governmental and institutional environments that may affect investments, transactions and assets.
Data, technology & forensic analysis — using data-driven and technology-enabled approaches to investigate transactions, reconstruct events, identify relationships and expose patterns that may not be apparent from conventional records.
Infrastructure & critical systems — examining the commercial, regulatory and institutional structures surrounding significant infrastructure and strategic assets.
Satellite & earth-observation technologies — considering the use of satellite imagery, remote sensing and geospatial information in commercial, regulatory, investigative and resource-related matters.
Airspace & emerging technologies — analysing the commercial, regulatory and institutional environment surrounding satellite systems, aviation and other technologies operating across borders.
Natural-resource and strategic-asset risk — examining the wider commercial and institutional environment surrounding resources, concessions and major projects.
Cross-border commercial risk — assessing how transactions, assets and business relationships are affected by multiple jurisdictions and regulatory systems.
In complex investigations and recovery matters, the critical evidence may be dispersed across financial records, corporate structures, digital systems, public databases, geospatial data and other sources.
We bring these sources together to help clients understand what happened, identify where value has moved, assess the risks and make better-informed strategic decisions.
