Case review & hypothesis testing
A disciplined second reading of the record: chronology, statement comparison, issue mapping and alternative-hypothesis analysis.
View capabilityIndependent forensic review & defence support
Independent scrutiny for complex international defence.
When investigations cross borders, evidence fragments across jurisdictions, systems and languages. We help defence counsel reconstruct the record, test the central hypothesis and identify material gaps.

Audi alteram partem
Hear the other side.
The proper answer to tunnel vision is not counter-tunnel vision. It is a method that makes every decisive assumption visible, testable and accountable.
What we do
One record. More than one test.
We do not sell innocence or a preferred narrative. We build a reproducible record of sources, methods, limitations and findings.
Financial & corporate forensics
Reconstruction of transactions, authority, beneficial ownership, economic substance and the context behind financial patterns.
View capabilityDigital evidence & data analytics
Controlled acquisition, metadata review, authentication, communications analysis and independent testing of technical conclusions.
View capabilityInternational defence support
Country coordination, expert selection, disclosure triage, translation integrity and courtroom-ready evidentiary reporting.
View capabilityThe defence evidence gap
The imbalance is often practical.
Prosecution teams may spend years building a case. Defence counsel may receive millions of files under severe time pressure. Equal rights on paper do not automatically create equal investigative capacity.
365 ALTERAM provides a disciplined second line: analysts, forensic specialists, local investigators and independent reviewers working under one controlled method.
How we work with counsel01
Traceable sources
Every material finding returns to an identified evidence object.

03
Independent review
No final report without challenge, limitation analysis and sign-off.
BALANCE-7
A method designed to withstand challenge.
Every conclusion has a source, a method, a limitation and a reviewer.

Evidentiary Reporting
Built around legal strategy
Counsel retains the strategy. We extend the capacity.
Wherever possible, instruction is led by the defence lawyer. One instructing counsel, one matter charter, one jurisdiction map and a controlled distribution structure keep the work proportionate and usable.
- Paid, scoped case assessment before substantive work
- Written legal basis and local authority before field activity
- Budget gates, decision logs and material-finding escalation
- Independent conclusions, including inconvenient findings
International by design
Cross-border capability. Local authority.
International coordination never replaces local permission. Work is performed only where lawful and, where required, through appropriately authorised professionals.
European Union
Brussels-led coordination with privacy, licensing and evidence-handling requirements mapped before work begins.
United Kingdom
Counsel-led review and specialist support for complex disclosure, financial and digital evidence matters.
Switzerland
Controlled cross-border data, asset and corporate-structure analysis through an approved professional network.
Middle East
Regional support coordinated through local counsel and appropriately authorised forensic specialists.
Independence is operational
We may challenge the client version as rigorously as the prosecution theory.
Our fee never depends on an acquittal, dismissal or public outcome. We record material inculpatory and exculpatory findings to the same standard.
We decline instructions requiring unlawful access, witness pressure, concealment or a predetermined conclusion.
