Fact-Finding Investigation — independent facts as the foundation for your case
A legal case is only as strong as the facts it is built on. We conduct independent fact-finding investigations that strengthen your case file — objective, structured, and legally admissible.

Fact-Finding Investigation
In legal proceedings, everything revolves around facts — but facts rarely surface on their own. They need to be uncovered, verified, and documented in a structured manner. We conduct independent fact-finding investigations that go beyond merely summarising available documents. With a methodical approach, we reconstruct the actual course of events, so you can build your litigation strategy on a solid foundation. Whether it concerns an employment dispute, a liability matter, or a complex fraud case: we deliver the facts, you draw the legal conclusions.
What we investigate
What do we investigate?
We reconstruct the actual course of events chronologically based on documents, statements, and registry records. This includes interviews with parties involved and witnesses, document analysis of contracts and correspondence, registry research through public and cadastral records, and cross-referencing to identify contradictions and patterns.
When is this used?
Fact-finding investigations are used in employment law (poor performance, misconduct), civil law (contract disputes, damage claims), corporate law (director liability, internal fraud), criminal law (incident reconstruction, counter-expertise), and disciplinary law (complaint investigations, regulatory breaches). We deliver the facts, you draw the legal conclusions.
How does the investigation work?
We discuss the research question, available documents, and desired scope.
We draw up a plan with concrete questions, sources, and a realistic timeline.
