Business Intelligence and Investigations

Enyo Law is the only specialist disputes firm in the City with an in-house business intelligence capability.

Established in 2015, Enyo’s Business Intelligence practice gathers intelligence for clients in high-stakes situations. 

With a proven track record and a transparent, cost-effective approach, we support multi-national corporations, state-owned entities, high-net-worth individuals, governments, and their advisors to resolve disputes and make business-critical decisions. Our services include: 

  • Investigative research and intelligence
  • Asset tracing
  • Litigation support
  • Internal investigations

Investigations and law together

Our investigators and lawyers collaborate seamlessly, offering clear advantages to engaging an investigations firm and a law firm separately. Our approach improves confidentiality and access to legal privilege protection; aligns investigations with legal priorities; and reduces time and cost.

We know where to look, and who to talk to

We focus on retrieving and analysing ethically sourced intelligence, drawing on years of experience in the corporate investigations industry. Through our trusted partnerships with reputable law firms, local investigators, and sectoral experts worldwide, we pride ourselves in having a global reach equal to that of a large investigations firm.
