Commissioning an enquiry.

We work from the material questions, relevant chronology and source requirements in the agreed brief. Instructions should identify the commissioning authority, reporting audience and document-handling arrangements.

Matters that may require support.

  • Commercial disputes and contested factual circumstances.
  • Corporate conduct and governance concerns.
  • Witness enquiries and source verification.

Evidence you can review.

The report distinguishes source material, analysis and unresolved gaps. Legal assessment and litigation strategy remain with the instructing legal team.

Commission with clarity.

Explore the scope, evidence requirements and practical considerations.

Commission a defined piece of factual work.

A legal team can instruct one witness statement, a source review, a chronology or a connected investigation. Specify the proposition requiring clarification and the evidence already available. The output should explain the material reviewed and the enquiries actually undertaken, rather than implying a wider verification exercise.

Witness-location work and contact are distinct steps. Agree the purpose of any approach, interview questions and statement requirements before the assignment extends beyond source or location research.

Agree the form of the evidence package.

Useful handover requirements include consistent statement and annexure references, an indexed source record, a chronology and clearly separated analysis. Draft, reviewed and executed accounts should retain their status. A briefing can address the supported factual position, competing explanations and the effect of missing material.

Legal strategy, privilege arrangements, evidence requirements and the use of the report remain with the instructing advisers. Any overseas work or specialist technical task requires separately confirmed scope and delivery arrangements.

Before we begin

Your questions, addressed.

Practical questions.

Can the instruction be limited to a chronology or statement?

Yes. Define the factual questions, source material and required output. A contained task need not imply a full investigation.

Does the appointment establish legal privilege?

No privilege assurance is made. The instructing lawyers determine the legal arrangements and strategy for the matter.
