International Integrity Investigations

As experts in countering fraud and corruption in all of its various forms, Barristers from Pavocat Chambers are regularly instructed to lead complex and high-level integrity investigations on behalf of companies and organisations globally.  Our barristers have extensive international experience and expertise in the conduct of such inquiries, and, to quote a client, “their work is consistently exemplary”.  Their Final Investigative Reports, based upon their agreed strategy and action-plans for the investigation, are legally watertight, meticulously drafted and can be relied upon by the client with complete confidence.  Our Counsel not only plan, manage and lead the investigation, but, if required, build the inquiry team and populate it with ‘class leading’ investigators such as Sir Hugh Orde OBE, QPM and Stuart Osborne QPM.  Pavocat Chambers investigation teams have no equal and their work is truly “a model for others to follow”.

“We have forged a dynamic partnership in the heart of Africa, where the indefatigable Lee has proven himself to be not just an experienced barrister, but a shining beacon of integrity. Unfazed by the treacherous terrain of justice, he fearlessly pursues the truth, undeterred by the labyrinthine complexities that come his way or the relentless pressures of the pursuit. Lee epitomises legal excellence, effortlessly transitioning between the roles of a masterful lawyer and a brilliant investigator. In his unyielding dedication to uncovering the truth, he is a force to be reckoned with.”
