We have used the services of Mr K Lodge of SIP on a number of sensitive and complex cases. Mr Lodge in particular, undertook a complex and involved investigation into a series of companies, both on and offshore in order to establish the origins of funds.As a result of the exhaustive research and investigation by Mr Lodge using forensic accounting and analytical evaluation techniques, which entailed a further detailed examination of many bank and company accounts both in the UK and Europe, he identified concealed assets of over 80,000,000.00 GBP. With such weight of evidence, the client we represented in this matter was able to secure a judgment of 20,000,000.00 GBP and substantial associated benefits until payment, and, of course, substantial costs. As a result of this successful case, I have used SIP on a number of other matters and have no hesitation in recommending him.
For compliance purposes, our company instructs SIP Services International Ltd to conduct due diligence on various individuals and companies worldwide. This is in respect of either the bona fide identity of potential investors, as well as the origins of their wealth, any criminal background and general status, or in relation to the acquisition of a company, when we require a comprehensive report on the trading, reputation, assets, legal proceedings and information on key personnel. We have been using SIP’s services for over two years and find them extremely professional and efficient.
We have dealt with SIP Services International and its representative, Mr Kenneth Lodge, since 2011. During that time, they have provided our business with excellent support in the areas of forensic investigation and intelligence gathering. Their work was a major factor in our success in recovering the shares lost in the illegal “raider attack” in Moldova, helping us recover several million euros in losses. In that particular case, SIP Services International Limited had undertaken extensive investigations and intelligence gathering in relation to individuals behind raider attacks as well as the complex infrastructure of offshore entities, falsified documentation and corrupt officials. In other cases, they have provided us with due diligence on individuals and companies in various countries. The services SIP International has always been extremely professional and of excellent expertise. We can confidently recommend SIP Services International as a solid and reliable service provider and experts in their field.
We are both partners at the international law firm, and we have had the pleasure of working with Mr Kenneth Lodge from SIP International on a very delicate case for a client. The client was extorted by a third party who threatened to publicly disclose information regarding the client’s private life. If that information – true or false – had become public, it would have seriously damaged the client’s reputation. After SIP successfully traced the location of the person issuing the threats and identified an accomplice, we devised together with Mr Lodge, the legal strategy to follow, i.e.:- Obtaining on an ex parte basis a gagging order which would prohibit the adverse parties from disclosing the information; and thereafter enter into a settlement agreement with the adverse parties, including the transfer to us of the devices of the adverse parties, which potentially contained information related to the client’s private life. Mr Lodge provided valuable input when we drafted the legal documents (petition for gagging order and settlement agreement) and it was him who took the lead in the negotiations for the agreement. The end result was that a settlement agreement was signed on terms which are very favourable to our client, and that pursuant to the agreement, the adverse parties transferred to us all their computers, mobile devices, etc. For the reasons set out above, we highly recommend Mr Kenneth Lodge and his expert team from SIP.
I have utilized the services of SIP Services International Limited over a period of several years. During the above period, we have had several confidential cases, where we needed complex investigations, due diligence, research and IT Forensics, which covered several jurisdictions. That, for all these requirements, I engaged the services of SIP. Ken Lodge directed all the operational matters and we found him and his team to be extremely professional and efficient. Not only did Ken Lodge deal with the operational matters, but he was also engaged as a legal team member in relation to case tactics and acted as the negotiator with the opposing parties involved in the above confidential cases in order to bring the cases to a satisfactory conclusion. My clients have also been very impressed by Ken Lodge in the way he dealt with their cases. In fact I would say that he has provided exceptional services that went beyond my expectations of any research agency
