Investigative Advisory Group and Kivu Consulting Partner to Assist Clients with Increasingly Complex Investigations
Two of California’s leading investigations and litigation support firms are working together to meet growing client demand for understanding and resolving today’s increasingly complex cases.
Los Angeles, CA, May 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Investigative Advisory Group (“IAG”) and Kivu Consulting, Inc. (“Kivu Consulting”) have announced a partnership to extend intelligence-gathering, business analysis, and digital forensics capabilities across a broader geographic market. By joining forces, these cutting-edge investigative firms are better-equipped to assist clients with complex litigation including employee misconduct, commercial fraud, and theft of IP and trade secrets.
“Attorney and corporate clients are increasingly expecting multi-discipline investigative firms to offer ‘best in class’ abilities for all their service offerings,” remarks Winston Krone, Managing Director of Kivu Consulting. “Quite frankly, in today’s market, if you’re not an expert at something, you shouldn’t be offering that service. IAG’s excellence in traditional investigations perfectly compliments Kivu’s reputation as the ‘go-to’ firm for forensic analysis.”
To carry out successful investigations, investigative firms must combine technological expertise with deep industry experience, avoid regulatory hurdles, and offer competitive costs. IAG and Kivu Consulting’s teams include professionals with multi-disciplinary backgrounds in the law, finance, law enforcement, accounting, and computer and research technology. IAG and Kivu Consulting’s personnel have testified as experts on all stages of corporate investigations. “Through this combination, we will assure our clients access to a deeper bench of professionals that bring the highest skill levels and integrity in the investigations industry,” notes Tom Cowley, Managing Partner at IAG,. “Also, with our respective headquarters in San Francisco and Los Angeles, we will have greater geographic reach for rapid response to client emergencies.”
Prior to joining Kivu Consulting in 2009, Winston Krone was a Managing Director at SafirRosetti, where he worked for 8 years with Tom Cowley in complex investigations and litigation support cases throughout the US and abroad. Prior to setting up IAG, Tom Cowley was a former FBI Special Agent, and Western US Regional Managing Director at Kroll and SafirRosetti.
