World-class investigative litigation support services
With deep forensic and industry expertise, our team provides engineering, fire and environmental litigation support to legal teams around the world. No matter the case, our experts have the right experience and advanced technology to provide insights.
Subrogation
When another party may be at fault, our team will work to identify the responsible parties to assist your recovery team with subrogation. We investigate the facts and document every detail, helping damaged parties recoup their losses.
Liability investigations
If you need help determining liability, our team can provide independent assessments and technical insights to clarify who’s responsible. We uncover evidence and use scientific methods to collect, test and prove findings — delivering timely, well-supported liability evaluations for your case, potentially including whether other parties are actually liable.
Fraud investigations
Whether it’s a fire set on purpose, damage that doesn’t match the story or reported damages that don’t align with the actual events, our experts can investigate deceptive practices and identify signs of fraud. We verify the facts and perform assessments to ensure claims are legitimate.
Evidence collection and preservation
Our experts and evidence technicians ensure all artifacts are gathered, documented, packaged, labeled, transported and stored to the highest standards. Careful evidence handling allows us to develop and test all hypotheses about origin and cause.
Slip, trip and fall investigations
Our highly trained specialists carefully analyze walking surfaces (including friction coefficients) and lighting, building and accessibility codes to identify contributing factors in slip, trip or fall personal injury cases. This often involves historical research of past applicable codes and standards. We use our findings to evaluate liability and are prepared to serve as expert witnesses in your case.
Construction defect
When a construction problem arises, our forensic engineers, building envelope consultants and structural specialists determine the root cause, extent of damage and, if necessary, appropriate remediation methods. We can investigate construction failures, code issues and material defects in residential, commercial, infrastructure, energy and industrial structures.

- Failure analysis and forensic engineering
- Structural, mechanical, fire protection, electrical and environmental property condition assessments
