Information for new clients:

When you first contact LWA we will help you identify what your investigative needs are and quickly provide you with a quote that will outline all the costs involved in the investigation.

To help us quickly develop the quote, we will need some information from you. The first will be the Terms of Reference that will outline our involvement. This will include details such as the allegations to be investigated, the number of people to be interviewed and documentation that will require review during the investigation.

We will develop an investigation plan that will include a financial cost estimate and will outline the proposed methodology of the investigation process. The plan will be agreed with you before we commence any investigation.

We will work with you throughout the investigation to ensure communication with your staff and investigative arrangements occur smoothly and in a timely manner. We understand that the investigative process can be disruptive and distressing for those impacted by the investigation. We seek to undertake the investigation in a sensitive, objective and timely manner to minimise the impact on those involved.
