About the Forensics & Investigations team

Are you ready to launch your career in a team that combines intellectual challenge with real-world impact? Our Forensics & Investigations team is a dynamic, close-knit group of over 35 professionals based across four offices in the UK and India. We work on high-profile, complex cases that span two key areas:

Disputes

We act as financial and accounting experts, either as Independent Expert Witnesses or Expert Advisors in a wide range of disputes. These typically arise in the context of litigation or arbitration, such as:

• Post-M&A disputes

• Investment arbitration

• Financial reporting disputes

• Breach of contract claims

• Professional negligence cases

Our work is analytical, rigorous, and often central to resolving multi-million-pound legal matters.

Investigations & Compliance

We conduct financial investigations for corporates and public entities, including:

• Fraud and corruption investigations

• Regulatory and government inquiries

• Compliance reviews and advisory

We're the team businesses turn to when things get complex. From helping organisations strengthen their internal controls to guiding them through tricky regulatory challenges, our work is all about problem-solving and impact. One day, you might be supporting a multinational energy company in a multi-billion-dollar arbitration; the next, you could be assisting a local authority with procurement concerns or investigating potential financial reporting fraud for a national regulator.

No two days are the same, and you'll gain exposure to a wide range of sectors and clients. This means your apprenticeship will be hands-on, exciting, and intellectually stimulating giving you real responsibility and the chance to make a difference from day one.

This is challenging work. It demands:

• Strong attention to detail

• Excellent problem-solving skills

• A commitment to high standards

• Good communication skills, both written and verbal.

• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.

But you won't be doing it alone. Our culture is all about teamwork and support. From Partners to apprentices, everyone is approachable and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. You'll learn from experienced professionals who are eager to share their knowledge, guide you through challenges, and celebrate your progress. This isn't just a job, it's a community where your growth matters.
