Investigation &
Intelligence

DWS provides discreet, world-class investigative services to help clients uncover critical facts and resolve complex issues. From fraud detection and business intelligence to asset tracing, identification and recovery, we deliver intelligence-led solutions that support strategic decision-making and strengthen dispute positions. Our global networks and decades of experience enable us to operate effectively in even the most challenging jurisdictions.

Litigation Support &
Management

We offer end-to-end litigation support to ensure that complex legal disputes are managed strategically and efficiently. Our services include pre-litigation assessments, case budgeting, legal team selection and coordination, and control of disclosure and forensic evidence. Throughout the process, we focus on optimising outcomes while containing costs and identifying opportunities for early settlement or alternative resolution.

Crisis &
Dispute Management

When urgent and high-stakes issues arise, DWS provides rapid, discreet and strategic crisis management. We help clients navigate reputational threats, commercial conflicts and sensitive family disputes with a clear, controlled approach. Our role is to minimise disruption, manage risks and deliver resolution strategies that protect our clients' interests both during and after crises.

Forensic &
Financial Analysis

Our forensic and financial services support clients in complex disputes involving financial loss, fraud and contested assets. We offer forensic auditing, financial analysis, and quantification of claims for damages and losses. Working closely with legal teams, we ensure that financial evidence is robust, credible and aligned with litigation and settlement objectives.

Pre-Litigation Risk &
Resolution Planning

Early intervention and clear-sighted analysis are key to positioning clients advantageously. We provide early-stage risk assessments, strategic positioning advice, and pragmatic resolution planning. This enables clients to understand prospects, control narratives and maximise the likelihood of achieving favourable settlements without prolonged litigation.

Reputation &
Risk Protection

Protecting reputations is often as important as winning disputes. We help clients manage media scrutiny, mitigate reputational risks and address compliance-related conflicts. Our integrated approach ensures that reputational considerations are factored into every decision.

Case Management &
Strategic Advisory

DWS provides holistic case management and strategic advisory services that give clients clarity and control throughout the lifecycle of a dispute. We coordinate multi-jurisdictional matters, integrate legal, reputational and commercial considerations, and ensure that every aspect of the case is managed seamlessly. Our strategic insight and hands-on support help clients remain focused on achieving successful outcomes.

Settlement Strategy &
Negotiation Support

DWS plays a pivotal role in helping clients resolve disputes through negotiated settlement wherever possible. We provide strategic settlement planning, negotiation support and behind-the-scenes advisory to help clients achieve outcomes that align with their legal, commercial and reputational priorities. Drawing on our deep understanding of litigation dynamics and the opposing party's likely pressures and objectives, we help structure and drive negotiations towards successful and timely conclusions.
