Legal, Finance & Advisory

When AOI is relevant
When a file rests on facts, context and interpretation that individually do not suffice, but together form a defensible picture. When information is present, but coherence and methodological substantiation are lacking.
Typical triggers
Prior to strategic decisions where a validated picture of a counterparty is essential to the mandate
During due diligence on a party whose public profile is incomplete or inconsistent
Before proceedings: fact-finding that can procedurally support a case
In financial disputes where reputation, integrity or solvency play a role
When there are suspicions of false declarations, incongruent CV claims or contradictions between statements and public footprint
In family or patrimonial files where discretion and legal robustness converge
When to engage AOI
In close collaboration with the counsel or advisor, with respect for existing case management and procedural context. AOI delivers a structured investigative result that can be introduced into the legal process.
What AOI delivers
Depending on what the file requires, we work from fact-finding, digital analysis (DAOI) or a combination. The report is suited for introduction in a legal file: structured, defensively formulated, with explicit mention of method and sources. Distinction between established facts and motivated interpretation. Suitable for use in collaboration with counsel.
What AOI does not do
No legal advice. No assessment of case law. No advocacy. No contact with counterparties unless commissioned and within the legal framework of private investigation.
