Our Geneva office supports organisations, professional advisers and private clients where a decision depends on facts that are incomplete, disputed or difficult to verify. The focus is on clear intelligence requirements, proportionate enquiry and reporting that distinguishes established information from relevant indications and unresolved questions.
Corporate intelligence from Geneva
Commercial relationships frequently extend beyond a single company, person or jurisdiction. Carratu can examine ownership, management history, connected entities, commercial relationships, material claims and other relevant indicators to develop a clearer picture of the people and organisations behind a matter.
This can support transaction assessment, disputes, investment or counterparty decisions, fraud-related enquiries and situations where conventional company information does not provide sufficient context.
Investigation and due diligence
Instructions can range from a focused question to a broader intelligence requirement. Relevant services include enhanced due diligence, corporate and background research, litigation support, asset and information research, fraud investigation support and cross-border enquiries.
The scope is determined by the decision or concern that needs to be addressed. Research is assessed across appropriate sources and reported with attention to relevance, source quality, proportionality and material information gaps.
Swiss and cross-border matters
Geneva is an international centre for finance, commodities, private wealth, international organisations and cross-border professional services. Matters arising in this environment can involve companies, principals, assets and relationships across several jurisdictions. Carratu's Geneva presence provides a practical point of contact for instructions involving Switzerland and wider European or international interests.
Where an enquiry extends beyond Switzerland, Carratu can coordinate the intelligence requirement across relevant jurisdictions while maintaining one point of instruction and a consistent reporting standard.
A focused first step
A useful initial brief does not need to define an entire investigation. Tell us the party or organisation involved, the decision or concern, the relevant jurisdictions and what you need to establish. We can then identify a proportionate starting point.
