• • Prosecuting and defending corruption and associated cases nationally and internationally;

• • Arbitrating or mediating corruption cases or acting as counsel in such proceedings;

• • The design and implementation of counter-corruption law reform programmes for states resulting in improved criminal justice systems and enhanced foreign direct investment; and

• • The provision globally of highly practical counter-corruption training in-country and elsewhere to police forces, law enforcement officers, prosecutors and judges.

International Humanitarian Law

• • Advice, guidance and advocacy on the resort to armed conflict (jus ad bellum) and the laws that apply during such conflict, whether international or non-international in nature;
