Forensic

INFRALEX conducts investigations to detect fraud or misconduct by business partners, clients or employees. 

In addition, forensic services help companies to comply with the law and avoid extralegal situations caused by another party. The results of investigations in the form of written reports are often used in court proceedings. INFRALEX lawyers may act as experts in court.

Investigations conducted by our experts reveal that, in Russia, companies can lose up to 10% of revenues and up to 30% of profits due to fraudulent actions and/or official violations of their employees. The total amount of losses, inefficient expenses and lost profit identified by us in the companies we have investigated amounted to more than 20 billion rubles. 

The main causes of losses were abusive practices of the company's management or its inefficiency that manifested in commercially impractical decisions and insufficient control over the company's activities.
