As any sophisticated regulator, prosecutor or journalist knows, this starts with database-driven research and

onsite pulls of all of the relevant public fi lings. Through the use of subscription and proprietary databases,

we establish the universe of the jurisdictions where the subject has lived, worked or operated. We then

physically pull and analyze all of the material public fi lings in those jurisdictions. If there is something

publicly available out there that can hurt or embarrass you, we will fi nd it – before it becomes a problem.

This work is often supplemented by source work. Many times our clients care most about what isn’t

publicly available. From the initial research we can generate a source list that may include such people

as our subject’s adverse litigants, former partners and fi nancial sponsors, analysts, journalists, former

employers and employees. We also have relationships and access to a global network of sources that

allow us to focus on our subject’s reputation in a particular industry or community as well as among law

enforcement sources and government regulators
