S-RM

S-RM is a leading global risk and intelligence consultancy. Founded in 2005, our staff comprises 400+ practitioners across nine international offices, serving clients across all regions and major sectors. Headquartered in London with offices in Manchester, Utrecht, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, New York, and Washington D.C., we support our clients by providing intelligence that informs critical decision-making and strategies. 

Our dedicated Disputes & Investigations practice provides specialist support to clients engaged in contentious situations. Our intelligence is deployed in a number of scenarios including litigation, international arbitration, funding due diligence, internal investigations, sanctions- and fraud-related investigations. Our Disputes & Investigations practice includes Digital Forensics experts who support both private and corporate clients in complex, sensitive, and high-stakes investigations.  

S-RM provides a full spectrum of dispute-focused services, including asset tracing and enforcement strategy (including against sovereigns); strategic intelligence in support of litigation; fraud investigations; person location and surveillance; witness identification; eDiscovery and digital forensics. We work on a wide variety of different types of disputes, including contractual; shareholder; joint venture; trademark or intellectual property; family and investor-state disputes, and many more. 

We frequently advise corporate clients on a range of internal investigations including IP theft, employee misconduct, fraud and embezzlement, corruption, and other compliance-related concerns. Our private client work is incredibly varied and bespoke in nature, but we often consult on cases involving defamation or other reputational damage, high profile and complex disputes, personal security concerns and civil and criminal proceedings. In these matters, digital evidence is frequently central, and our team ensures that all forensic work is conducted to the highest professional and legal standards. Operating from dedicated digital forensics laboratories in London and Washington DC, our experts conduct forensic collections and analysis across a wide range of digital data sources, following rigorous chain-of-custody and evidence handling procedures to safeguard the integrity and admissibility of digital evidence. As vetted members of the Expert Witness Institute, our experts regularly prepare court-compliant expert reports and statements and provide oral testimony during criminal and civil proceedings.
