Disputes & Investigations

CRA’s extensive experience in securities litigation, class actions, false/deceptive pricing, labeling, and marketing, unfair competition matters, and energy and environmental litigation, across numerous industries makes us well suited to represent clients in matters arising from alleged failures to abide by appropriate ESG practices. We provide sophisticated, expert damages analyses that leverage our strong analytical skills and deep industry experience. We have assessed quantum and have given evidence before courts and arbitration tribunals globally.

The current economic environment encourages increased consolidation, acquisitions, disposals, and combinations. Even carefully assessed opportunities are subject to previously underappreciated ESG risk. To mitigate potential ESG risk and losses, CRA works on behalf of investment companies, acquirers, and compliance and ethics teams to conduct objective, third-party reviews and due diligence into target entities.

We use established investigative techniques to focus both on identifying and mitigating governance and integrity risks associated with critical social factors and human capital concerns. CRA also supports the investment community to evaluate their exposure and compliance with national regulations, international treaties and standards.
