Legal and Litigation Intelligence
Having the right intelligence about the opposition is critical to successful
litigation.
SIG conducts intelligence operations to support litigation using a variety of modalities and techniques to reveal key
findings and build the most complete picture possible. Projects
are conducted to support litigation, as well as pre- and post- litigation
situations, in multiple countries around the world.
SIG’s specialized legal intelligence services designed to help our clients
level the playing field, and win in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and
litigation. Many methodologies are utilized, including open source
intelligence, human intelligence, imagery intelligence, and technical
intelligence.
