Private Investigation & Fact-Finding Services in Malaysia

Regents Risk Advisory provides professional investigation and fact-finding services in Malaysia across four core areas: Corporate Investigations, Intellectual Property Investigations, Litigation Support, and Employee Misconduct Investigations.

Our investigative work is designed to help businesses, law firms, organisations and private clients establish facts, identify risks, gather relevant information and support informed legal or business decisions. Depending on the nature of the assignment, our approach may involve background research, open-source intelligence, field enquiries, discreet investigations, interviews, surveillance and analysis of available information.

Corporate Investigations

Our Corporate Investigation Services assist businesses and organisations in investigating matters that may expose them to financial, operational, reputational or commercial risks.

Corporate investigations may involve suspected fraud, internal theft, conflicts of interest, business disputes, due diligence concerns, employee-related issues, competitor activities and other circumstances where independent fact-finding is required.

Regents conducts investigative research and field enquiries to help clients establish the relevant facts, identify individuals or entities of interest and assess information that may not be readily available through conventional business research.

Intellectual Property Investigations

Regents provides Intellectual Property Investigation Services to assist brand owners, rights holders, law firms and businesses dealing with suspected infringement, counterfeiting and other intellectual property concerns.

Investigations may involve identifying sources and distributors of counterfeit products, tracing businesses or individuals connected to suspected infringement, conducting market enquiries and gathering information to support enforcement or legal action.

Our investigations combine online research with appropriate field-based enquiries to help establish the commercial activities, relationships and locations relevant to an IP matter.

Litigation Support

Our Litigation Support and Investigation Services assist law firms, legal professionals and clients who require additional investigative work before or during legal proceedings.

Depending on the requirements of a case, assignments may include fact-finding, background investigations, locating individuals, witness-related enquiries, asset-related research, business investigations and other information-gathering activities that may assist legal counsel in assessing a matter.

Regents works alongside legal professionals to develop investigative enquiries according to the objectives and circumstances of each case, with findings presented in a structured and confidential manner.

Employee Misconduct Investigations

Regents provides Employee Misconduct Investigation Services for organisations dealing with suspected misconduct, fraud, theft, conflicts of interest, unauthorised activities or breaches of company policies.

Investigations can assist management and HR teams in establishing the facts surrounding an incident, identifying relevant individuals or activities and assessing information obtained from available records, online sources and field enquiries.

Where appropriate, investigative activities may include background research, discreet enquiries, interviews, surveillance and other fact-finding methods, depending on the circumstances and requirements of the assignment.
