De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek has been featured in the GIR 100, a new independent guide to the world’s best firms for international investigations.
The guide profiles 100 firms that the GIR editorial team has assessed as experienced and busy enough to be viewed as a trusted pair of hands for corporates who discover possible wrongdoing of the type that could turn into a crisis. Each firm in the GIR 100 is included only after GIR’s editorial team has vetted their current and past work to establish that they have gained experience at the highest level.
The guide profiles 100 firms that the GIR editorial team has assessed as experienced and busy enough to be viewed as a trusted pair of hands for corporates who discover possible wrongdoing of the type that could turn into a crisis. Each firm in the GIR 100 is included only after GIR’s editorial team has vetted their current and past work to establish that they have gained experience at the highest level.
The GIR 100 uses objective criteria to generate its final list – including the number of active cases, how high-profile those are, the number of recognised leading figures at a firm, and the hours billed, among other elements examined and put into the formula.
