Investigation Services Built Around Your Industry
Fraud in a bank does not look like fraud on a construction site. A counterfeit medicine creates different risks from a counterfeit handbag. A due diligence check before acquiring a mine asks different questions from one before appointing a distributor. Good investigators understand these differences and shape every case around the way a particular industry works, where its money flows and how its risks tend to appear.
Risk Investigators provides industry investigation services for 14 sectors, drawing on more than 30 years of experience through GREVESGROUP® and around 1,000 cases a year. Headquartered in Dubai, we investigate in more than 100 countries for companies, law firms, insurers and financial institutions. Choose your industry below to see the risks we investigate and how our services apply to your sector.

Why Industry Knowledge Matters
An investigator who understands your sector asks better questions and finds answers faster. They know which records matter, which fraud patterns are common, which regulators set expectations and what evidence your lawyers or compliance team will need. That knowledge shortens investigations, reduces cost and produces findings that decision-makers can act on without translation.
One Partner Across Services and Borders
Every industry page shows how all eight of our services apply to that sector: corporate investigation, IP investigation, claim investigation, background checks, due diligence, brand protection, process service and private investigation for businesses. Because we investigate in more than 100 countries, you can use the same partner whether the issue sits in one branch or spans a global supply chain.
Industry Risks Across Different Countries
The same industry carries different risks in different markets. Pharmaceutical counterfeiting looks different in West Africa than in Southeast Asia. Mining due diligence in Mongolia raises different questions from mining due diligence in Tanzania. Our country pages explain these local risks in detail, and our case managers combine industry knowledge with local insight so that each investigation reflects both the sector and the market it sits in.
How We Work with Industry Clients
Some clients instruct us case by case. Others run ongoing programmes, such as supplier vetting, claim referrals, anti-counterfeiting or third-party due diligence, with agreed scopes, reporting formats and fees. Every engagement starts with a confidential briefing and a written proposal, and every report separates verified facts from intelligence.
