Law Firms · Private Equity · Specialist Advisory FirmsA Dubai-based boutique intelligence practice.
Since 2012, we have worked on assignments that demand more than database research or off-the-shelf reporting. Our work is built on direct access to primary sources — local networks, human intelligence, and records beyond the reach of aggregated data providers. We are candid about what is achievable, where effort is best directed, and when a line of inquiry is unlikely to justify the cost.
Behind each report sits research capability developed over a decade — assembled, not aggregated.
Speak with usFour areas of work, tailored to the mandate
Litigation Support
Intelligence support before and during proceedings — asset tracing, individual profiling, and source-based intelligence that informs strategy and recovery prospects.
Non-Financial Due Diligence
Reputational, integrity, and background diligence on individuals, entities, and ownership structures — before capital, credibility, or reputation is committed.
Fact-Finding & Verification
Targeted investigation to verify claims, establish facts, and surface information that documentary review alone will not reveal.
Bespoke Mandates
Sensitive, unusual, or difficult-to-categorize matters — assessed individually and handled with discretion.
Centered in the UAE, with reach across regional jurisdictions
Our operations are based in the UAE, where our capability is deepest. We support clients on mandates that extend beyond the UAE — drawing on established relationships in the region — though any cross-border engagement is scoped on its own terms.
UAE-based mandates
Full operational capability — primary sources, direct inquiry, and established networks built from on-the-ground presence since 2012.
Cross-border mandates
Scoped case-by-case. Drawing on mandate-specific sources and regional relationships developed over more than a decade of practice.
Scoping
Before any cross-border work begins, we assess feasibility, access, and cost — and advise honestly on what is achievable within the mandate.
Sourcing
Region-specific sources engaged on a mandate basis — not held on retainer. Relationships are cultivated carefully and drawn on selectively.
Reporting
All findings consolidated into a single English-language product, regardless of source language or jurisdiction. One report. One voice.
All reports prepared in English. We draw directly from Arabic-language sources and local expertise throughout the region.
Direct, candid, and built around the reality of the mandate
Primary sources
We work from direct human and local source access — not solely from third-party aggregators.
Close client collaboration
We work alongside clients throughout a mandate, adapting as facts develop and flagging findings as they emerge — not only at the end of an engagement.
Clear judgment
Where a route is unlikely to yield meaningful results, or the cost outweighs the value, we say so early. Candor serves clients better than volume.
What we hold, most firms subcontract.
