The role of Forensic Investigator combines open-source intelligence (OSINT), enhanced due diligence (EDD), corporate investigations and digital forensics, and cyber incident response. You will require a meticulous, analytical, and resilient discipline with a deep commitment to accuracy, integrity, and client service.

  • Maintain clear audit trails for all searches, findings, and source materials
  • Ensure zero factual or attributional errors; every finding must be verifiable, timestamped, and properly sourced
  • Support compliance, M&A, and litigation teams with rapid-turnaround intelligence reports under tight deadlines
  • Review and peer-check EDD outputs to maintain quality consistency across the practice
Financial Crime & Corporate Investigations
  • Support investigations into fraud, bribery, corruption, money laundering, and asset misappropriation
  • Reconstruct complex financial transactions, trace fund flows, and link assets to beneficial owners
  • Combine forensic accounting, digital forensics, and OSINT data to build comprehensive case narratives
  • Participate in multi-jurisdictional investigations across the iGaming, financial services, and trust sectors

  • Use industry-standard digital forensics and incident response tools
