01ASSESS
What matters?
Establish the current position, priorities and whether further work is justified.
IP Risk & Enforcement AssessmentWHAT YOU GET
- executive assessment
- intelligence-gap analysis
- recommended next actions
HOW WE WORK
Start with the decision, not the activity.
We start with the decision you need to make, review what you already know and recommend only the work needed to move it forward.
ASSESS → UNDERSTAND → EVIDENCE → ACT
Four connected stages.
Each stage answers one question. We only recommend the stages your decision needs.
01
02UNDERSTAND
What sits behind the problem?
Develop enough intelligence to understand the relevant actors, relationships, networks and vulnerabilities.
Intelligence-Led InvestigationWHAT YOU GET
- target profiles
- network or supply-chain analysis
- target prioritisation
03EVIDENCE
What needs to be established?
Establish what the intended action requires and close the evidence gaps that matter.
Evidence & Case DevelopmentWHAT YOU GET
- evidential-gap assessment
- structured evidence summary
- enforcement-readiness assessment
04ACT
What should happen next?
Choose and coordinate the action most likely to achieve your objective.
Enforcement Strategy & DeliveryWHAT YOU GET
- recommended intervention strategy
- sequencing plan
- post-action recommendations
START WHERE YOU NEED US
Not every problem needs every stage.
The method is a decision framework, not a production line. You may already have intelligence, evidence, investigators or an established enforcement route. We start where you need us.
Sometimes the right next step is to stop.
You have infringement data but unclear priorities. Start at Assess.
You know there’s a problem but not who is behind it. Start at Understand.
You know who is involved, but the case isn’t ready for action. Start at Evidence.
You have a case and need the right intervention. Start at Act.
Later stages only if needed
At every checkpoint, stopping is a valid outcome.
WORKING TOGETHER
How an engagement runs.
- 01
First conversation
A free conversation with no obligation. Tell us where things stand and what you need to decide.
- 02
Written proposal
Before any work starts, we set out the objective, scope, deliverables, timing and fee in writing.
- 03
Work and review
At the end of each stage we review what we have learned with you and agree whether to continue, change direction or stop.
- 04
Recommendation and coordination
You receive a clear recommendation and the material needed for the next step. Where delivery involves your team or other providers, we can coordinate their work.
Conversations are confidential from the first call. We are happy to sign an NDA before you share details.
PRINCIPLES
What guides the work.
Use what already works.
A change of adviser should not mean starting again. We build on relevant existing intelligence and work with capable existing providers where appropriate.
The problem determines the capability.
Different problems need different combinations of investigative, technical, legal and enforcement expertise. What needs to happen comes before who should do it.
One strategic view.
We provide continuity across providers, markets and intervention routes, so intelligence, evidence and activity stay connected to one objective.
Activity is not the outcome.
Investigations, reports and takedowns may all be necessary. The question is what changed: a better decision, a stronger case or the removal of unnecessary activity.
SOUTHEAST ASIA AND GREATER CHINA
Delivery adapts to the market. Judgement stays consistent.
Markets differ in investigative practice, provider capability, evidence requirements and enforcement opportunity. We provide continuity of judgement while delivery adapts to the market.
LET’S TALK
What should happen next?
Tell us where things stand and what you need to decide. We can help you identify what is already known, what needs to be established and the right next step.
