Frequently Asked Questions

Additional questions? Our experts are here to answer them.

Q

Are your investigations legal? Are your findings and deliverables admissible in court?

A

Yes. Our work is conducted in strict compliance with applicable legal and regulatory frameworks. It is also essential for us to follow the ethical standards of the profession. Our collection methods are lawful and fully traceable. The evidence collected may, where appropriate, be incorporated into legal proceedings.

Q

How do you ensure the confidentiality of your missions?

A

Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of our approach. We implement strict information management and security protocols, including appropriate technical and organisational measures. Additionally, we prioritise in-house expertise and limit the involvement of third parties to reduce the risks of leaks, dependency, and conflicts of interest.

Par ailleurs, nous privilégions l’internalisation des compétences et limitons le recours à des tiers, afin de réduire les risques de fuite, de dépendance ou de conflits d’intérêts.

Do you operate internationally?

Yes. We support our clients in both national and international contexts. We adapt our investigation and analysis methods to the legal, cultural and operational specificities of each environment we work with and evolve in.
