SCOPE OF SERVICES

Forensic investigation

Complex forensic investigations require a deep and practical understanding of the issues at hand and the various stakeholders involved. As such, ZRp works jointly with external experts of multidisciplinary fields such as IT experts, financial experts, private investigators and other industry professionals. In this regard, ZRp has the advantage of legal privilege which protects the confidentiality of sensitive information.

Our team can assist in a variety of ways:

• due diligence or fact finding on documentary evidence;
• due diligence on processes;
• conducting interviews and recording statements from suspected employees or related witnesses, or external parties to gather evidence of any breaches such as improper business relationships, conflict of interest, bribery or corruption;
• advisory on whistle-blower allegations, managing or protection of such employees;
• forensic evidence collection and analysis;
• rendering legal opinion on the outcome of investigation;
• presentation of investigation results and interface with relevant government regulatory authorities.

Legal Advisory

Based on the forensic investigations conducted, ZRp will advise on the legal risks, mitigating strategies and legal actions to safeguard the interests of the company.

Crisis Response

In today’s era of real-time reporting and global media environment, when confronted with a crisis, it is incumbent on a company and its key stakeholders to communicate to the public to minimise the risk of reputational damage. ZRp will advise and manage media statements and communications by engaging with corporate communication professionals in ensuring that the company’s legal rights are not compromised as the company faces public exposure during such crisis.
