Overview

Where legal strategy meets financial investigation.

Most fraud cases are lost in translation — between the lawyers who understand the law and the accountants who understand the numbers. Our firm eliminates that gap. Our forensic practice is led by Atty. Alfeo D. Vivas, CPA — a lawyer and Certified Public Accountant, former BSP Chief Examiner, veteran international bank auditor, and author of Forensic Accounting and Financial Misconduct.

We investigate suspected fraud, embezzlement, and financial irregularities; trace transactions and assets; reconstruct records; and quantify losses — then package the findings as evidence that stands up in court or before regulators. Because the investigation is run by litigators, it is built for admissibility from day one.

This capability supports our own civil and criminal litigation practice, and is also available as standalone support for companies, boards, and counsel who need an independent financial investigation.

Scope of Work

What We Handle

Fraud Investigation

Investigation of suspected employee fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, and financial statement irregularities — discreet, documented, and defensible.

Asset & Transaction Tracing

Following the money through accounts, entities, and transactions to locate diverted funds and concealed assets.

Damages Quantification

Computing and defending loss and damages figures for civil claims, criminal restitution, and settlement negotiations.

Litigation Support

Financial analysis for pending cases — dissecting the other side's numbers, preparing exhibits, and supporting expert testimony.

Regulatory Investigations

Financial investigation support in BSP, AMLC, and other regulatory matters — see our banking & regulatory practice.

Internal Reviews & Compliance

Independent reviews for boards and management — internal control assessments, compliance reviews, and pre-transaction financial due diligence.

Our Approach

How we investigate.

  • Built for court from day one Evidence is gathered, documented, and preserved with admissibility in mind — not reconstructed after the fact.
  • Discreet by design Investigations are conducted under attorney-client privilege, protecting findings while you decide how to act on them.
  • Credentialed leadership Led by a CPA-lawyer with decades in bank examination, international audit, and financial investigation — and a published book on the field.
