Confidential search for forensic accountants, corporate investigators, digital forensics experts and disputes partners.
Our clients’ trust in us is based on their confidence in our honesty, our knowledge, and our capability.
We do not just recruit.
Our consultants have spent decades personally building trusting professional relationships within the world’s leading investigations, disputes and intelligence practices. Licensed in Singapore by the Ministry of Manpower, we are engaged on retained mandates by corporates, law firms and consulting practices headquartered across APAC, EMEA and the Americas.
Because of the professional trust we hold within these communities, Search & Counsel clients benefit from intelligence shared with us by our networks - candidates who are not publicly on the market, market context that is not written down, and an understanding of team dynamics that cannot be captured in a CV.
