INVESTIGATIVE & ADVISORY SERVICES

W1’s cadre includes investigators with decades of experience working on several of the most significant cases in recent DOJ history.  Our engagements begin with detailed discussions of client objectives, risk tolerance, and investigative scope, resulting in a phased approach that ensures transparency and control over budget and focus. This “build-as-necessary” model allows W1 to deploy experts in accounting, cyber, cryptocurrency, geography, and language as needed. When appropriate, investigations are conducted through legal counsel to maintain attorney-client privilege and confidentiality.

W1 assists corporations in addressing internal and external threats, including theft of financial or physical assets, intellectual property, trade secrets, and proprietary information. We investigate cyber incidents, insider threats, regulatory breaches, corruption, and fraud. Our priority is to stop ongoing harm, mitigate exposure, and deliver actionable intelligence. We collaborate with executives, general counsel, and boards throughout the process and provide assessments to strengthen internal controls and prevent recurrence.

W1 offers unparalleled litigation support through a robust network of former federal prosecutors who now serve as partners in leading law firms—from global multi-nationals to elite boutique practices. These strategic relationships enable W1 to deliver investigative capabilities that rival much larger firms while maintaining agility and discretion. What truly sets W1 apart is the depth and sophistication of our team. We are not simply a resource for law firms; we are trusted partners who actively collaborate in shaping and executing complex legal strategies. Our professionals bring decades of experience in federal law enforcement, regulatory matters, and high-stakes litigation, ensuring that every engagement is informed, precise, and outcome-driven. From uncovering critical evidence to advising on risk mitigation and case strategy, W1 integrates seamlessly with counsel to strengthen arguments, protect privilege, and achieve client objectives with confidence.

W1 helps clients navigate evolving global regulatory and geopolitical risks that can expose individuals and corporations to sanctions, criminal inquiries, or reputational damage. Engagements begin with client consultations to define objectives, followed by in-depth research and human-source inquiries. Based on our findings, W1 develops strategic plans that may include managing false narratives, liaising with government authorities, or coordinating with law firms to prepare filings and negotiate resolutions.

Our principals maintain strong relationships with officials across the U.S., U.K., Israel, Switzerland, the E.U., Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. These connections, combined with our reputation for professionalism and integrity, make W1 a trusted partner for complex cross-border matters.

W1 provides whistleblowers with exceptional investigative and advisory support. We protect confidentiality throughout the process, evaluate submissions, and determine the best reporting methodology. Our team conducts targeted investigations to collect additional evidence and maintain communication with clients to ensure transparency. With extensive experience managing whistleblower matters in both federal and private sectors, W1 expedites resolution and enhances the likelihood of success. We have active and pending cases with the DOJ, SEC, and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

W1 leverages a global network of trusted human sources and strategic partners cultivated through decades in law enforcement, intelligence, and private-sector roles. Our sources and partners span key industries and jurisdictions, providing both non-public and difficult-to-access information critical to case success.

• Discreet source enquiries and taskings
