Corporate Investigations and Intelligence

Accuracy counts. Results matter.

Wolf Global is a true investigations consultancy.  We work closely with our clients and their counsel.  We embed with deal teams and with litigation teams.  We provide advice on the information, intelligence, and evidence that might exist, where it might reside, and how it can be legally and ethically acquired.  And we provide the capabilities and resources to get it done.

Known for our rapid response and international dexterity, we do not merely conduct investigations, we use investigations to resolve cases and crises.
