Scottish Corporate Investigations Group

25 Jun 2026 United Kingdom 2 min read
In today's business environment, conducting fair and impartial investigations is more crucial than ever. The repercussions of getting it wrong - whether legal, financial, or reputational - can be catastrophic.

At CMS, our Scottish Corporate Investigations Group are a multi-disciplinary team of experts in managing and executing investigations with the highest level of expertise and integrity. We approach investigations as a core component of business risk management, integrating employment, governance, regulatory, corporate crime, data and technology expertise to deliver insights that inform board level decision making.

We know that a crisis tends to land at speed, with emotion and under scrutiny, often at the least suitable time. Our Scottish led team, which includes Certified Corporate Investigators, are accessible, highly responsive, and discrete in their handling of an organisation’s most sensitive issues.  

We work with long standing clients as well as with organisations where there is no existing relationship, bringing the benefit of objectivity and independence.

Our offering is complemented by access to advanced data analytics and secure AI tools to manage complex evidence, uncover risk and enhance defensibility. 

The result is investigations that are credible, proportionate and aligned to the organisation’s overall risk and governance framework.

Through CMS’ extensive global network, we can also provide seamless cross-border support if required.

Our Services

We provide organisations across a range of sectors and disciplines with bespoke investigations support, such as:

conducting investigations ourselves as an external third party.
providing neutral space to conduct investigation interviews.
supporting on/responding to investigations by regulators and other bodies.
