Case Studies

Selected engagements across our practice.

A selection of engagements spanning regions, sectors, and disciplines — anonymized to protect client confidentiality, but representative of the work, and the standard, we bring to it.

Legislative MonitoringTechnologySub-Saharan AfricaData & Cyber Policy

Tracking data and cyber policy across Sub-Saharan Africa

The mandate

A US technology company expanding across Sub-Saharan Africa needed continuous visibility into a fast-moving legal and regulatory landscape — data-protection and localization laws, sectoral regulation, privacy rules, and emerging cybersecurity mandates — across multiple national jurisdictions and regulators, often in local languages and ahead of formal publication.

Our approach

We established a standing legislative- and regulatory-monitoring programme: tracking bills, regulator guidance, enforcement actions, and the political signals behind them; assessing each development against the client's specific exposure; and delivering concise, prioritised alerts with a clear read on likely direction and timing. Where the public record was thin, our local networks and OSINT closed the gap.

OutcomeThe client shifted from reacting to regulation to anticipating it — adapting product, data-handling, and engagement strategy ahead of new requirements, and ranking markets by regulatory risk.
Strategic AdvisoryHumanitarian / Public SectorMiddle EastSustained Advisory

Sustained advisory to a humanitarian demining programme

The mandate

A major humanitarian demining effort in the Middle East — operating across contested terrain, multiple donors, and a web of local and international stakeholders — required sustained counsel to navigate the political, security, regulatory, and funding environment surrounding its work.

Our approach

Across the life of the programme we delivered 36 discrete advisory engagements: stakeholder and political mapping, donor and government engagement strategy, security and operating-risk assessments, and counsel on working credibly across authorities and jurisdictions. Each engagement was principal-led and built around the decision in front of the client.

OutcomeThe programme advanced its mandate with a sharper read of the operating environment, stronger stakeholder alignment, and an engagement strategy matched to a difficult and shifting context.
Market EntryMobility & TransportEurasiaMarket Research

Market entry for a mobility platform in Eurasia

The mandate

A mobility firm weighing entry into a Eurasian market needed to understand demand, the competitive field, the licensing and regulatory path, and the political and stakeholder landscape before committing capital to a complex, regulated sector.

Our approach

We delivered a market-entry assessment that paired primary research — expert interviews, local sourcing, and competitive mapping — with regulatory and political-risk analysis and a read of the decisive public- and private-sector stakeholders. We then advised on entry strategy, sequencing, and the relationships that would determine success.

OutcomeThe firm entered with a clear-eyed view of the opportunity and its risks, an evidence-based strategy, and a stakeholder map that shortened its path to operating.
Asset TracingDue Diligence & InvestigationsMulti-Jurisdictional

Tracing assets across multiple jurisdictions

The mandate

Following a dispute, a client needed to locate and document assets connected to a counterparty who had moved value across several jurisdictions through layered corporate structures and nominees — to support recovery and inform legal strategy.

Our approach

We combined transactional and integrity due diligence, open-source intelligence, corporate-registry and litigation research, and discreet human-source inquiries to reconstruct the ownership and money trail. Every finding was sourced, corroborated, and documented to an evidentiary standard suitable for legal proceedings.

OutcomeWe delivered a defensible picture of where value had moved and who controlled it, giving the client and its counsel a factual basis to pursue recovery.
