The practice provides investigative due diligence and adjacent services to leading private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, investment banks, institutional investors, and law firms.
• The firm’s Cyber Security practice was established in 2014 to provide cyber advisory, cyber incident response, digital forensics, cyber due diligence and cyber testing support to clients. The team works with many of the world’s largest insurance companies and private equity firms that are looking for support to improve cyber resilience and readiness in response to cyber crises.
