Bespoke assignments have included tax investigations, consultancy (including for two UK Government departments, two £ multi-million bribery & corruption investigations, and two UK television shows), and professional training.

 

We are based in Bristol, with offices conveniently situated by the M5 and M4 motorways, but cover assignments that arise across the UK.  The advent of electronic data transfer has meant that assignments can often be completed successfully without the time and cost for face-to-face meetings.
