Private client services
Personal matters deserve professional handling.
Background and personal information concerns can carry serious emotional, financial and reputational consequences.
Carratu International approaches private client matters with confidentiality, sensitivity, careful scoping, compliant and proportionate research, and clear reporting of the facts.
Initial enquiries can be kept brief. We will first consider suitability, proportionality and the most appropriate next step.
Our approach
From your brief to useful intelligence.
Understand
We identify the decision, concerns and questions that actually matter.
Scope
We define compliant, proportionate lines of enquiry and agree what the enquiry should establish.
Research
We examine relevant open sources, records and information within the agreed scope.
Report
Receive referenced findings, an assessment of their significance and clearly identified follow-up points.
Confidential enquiry
Tell us what you need.
A short initial summary is enough. We can then consider whether the matter appears suitable and what a proportionate next step could involve.
Please avoid sending sensitive documents in the first message. We can agree an appropriate method for handling further material if the matter proceeds.
