Our primary role is to bridge the gap between what is known and what is knowable. Armed with proper intelligence our clients can make informed, balanced and better decisions. gpw's work falls broadly into three categories:
- Ahead of events our work is geared toward underpinning a client's confidence in business decisions and identifying relevant and material issues in order to manage corporate risk. We typically gather key competitor intelligence, we conduct due dilligence ahead of new investment opportunities, corporate bids, acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures and the hiring of key individuals.
- During events we are retained to advise upon an array of threatening and challenging situations such as hostile bids, investor activism, shareholder disputes, boardroom clashes, maliciously targeted allegations and at other times of unexpected corporate adversity.
- Post event, we investigate fraud and internal malpractice, corruption, bribery, kickbacks and secret commissions, we gather intelligence and evidence in support of litigation and dispute resolution, we trace and recover assets internationally, we investigate intellectual property theft and infringement, we conduct computer and other forensic investigations and we unravel complex and opaque offshore corporate structures.
