Nonprofits, trade associations & advocacy
Research into the individuals, institutions, interests, and records surrounding the issues that matter to nonprofit organizations, trade associations, coalitions, and advocacy groups.
Law firms
Litigation and investigative research into individuals, businesses, corporate relationships, litigation histories, property and financial interests, regulatory records, and other information relevant to the matter at hand.
Real estate, development & land use
Research into property ownership, businesses, litigation, political activity, government actions, community interests, and other stakeholders relevant to development projects and disputes.
Other specialized research
Customized research engagements that don’t fit neatly into a predefined category, shaped around the client’s specific needs, circumstances, and objectives.

Discretion is part of the work.
Many of our research engagements involve sensitive questions and confidential matters. We approach every engagement with discretion and respect for the confidentiality of our clients and their work.
