We investigate directly.
Our own research and analysis into the people, businesses and connections behind the infringement.
We direct the specialist work.
Test purchases, field enquiries and technical work, brought in where the case needs them.
We recommend only what’s justified.
Including your existing providers, or no further work.
Same process. Different answer.
Independence allows us to recommend continuing, changing direction or stopping, depending on what the evidence supports.
Two illustrative decision briefs.
Brief 1. Question: fund another round of test purchases against the flagged sellers? What we know: the sellers share an address and payment details, and the goods are already confirmed counterfeit. What changes it: a link to the importer; more test purchases won’t show who brings the goods in. Route: existing provider. Outcome: change direction.
Brief 2. Question: is the supplier behind the seized stock worth pursuing? What we know: the stock traces to one supplier, whose premises and owners are unconfirmed. What changes it: whether the premises are real and active, which needs a local field check. Route: specialist. Outcome: continue.
Same process. Different answer.
