Private investigation is an increasingly relevant and frequently used tool in clarifying facts and assessing the legal questions and consequences the facts give rise to.
A successful private investigation is characterized by high quality in all parts of the investigation in order to establish the correct facts and in order to ensure that methodology, reporting and legal assessments survive other's critical review. Several investigations have been criticised for the way they were conducted. This undermines the trust in the investigation's findings and conclusions, as well as its value for the client.
