I. Responsible business legal advisory 

We support clients to anticipate, and operationalise legal obligations related to responsible business conduct. Our work ranges from mitigating risks of legal liability including international humanitarian law to assisting clients to benchmark internal processes and suppliers’ practices against current and emerging sustainability legislation. We work in close partnership with in-house legal teams or domestic counsel, filling the gap between legal interpretation and operationalisation in commercial settings.

II. Human rights due diligence in complex contexts

We support clients to navigate all aspects of human rights due diligence, including conducting human rights risk assessments, training public and private sector stakeholders, designing grievance mechanisms, advising on remediation and monitoring impact. We also specialise in conducting heightened HRDD in CAHRAs through conflict analysis, risk assessment, advice on engagement with private and public security, and responsible disengagement where required.

III. Investigations into allegations of human rights violations

When allegations of human rights abuses arise, we are equipped to deploy rapid investigation teams to collect and document evidence. Using the full breadth of investigative techniques, including retrieving open-source information (e.g., satellite imagery, multi-language semantic searches across search engines, the Dark Web, and social media intelligence (SOCMINT) platforms and conflict data), interviewing witnesses, or using human intelligence (HUMINT), our experts will provide confidential analysis of any harm, causes, and national or international routes to remedy.
