We undertake a large number of international asset searches and will expect candidates to be able to discuss strategy and methodology as well as demonstrating expertise in this area. While the focus of their work will be on MENA, the successful candidate will be expected to manage matters outside the region too.

Directors will have four to six years’ experience in investigations, including at least three years managing complex matters. Successful candidates will be able to develop case strategies and be comfortable presenting these to clients. Responsibilities will include the conversion of opportunities and the preparation of deliverables to client-ready standard.
