BRAND PROTECTION

We operate in strategic locations throughout the globe. We implement counterintelligence measures to protect clients from potential security breaches. Our staff has established high levels of credibility in multiple countries with government officials, law enforcement agencies, foreign ambassadors, and judicial bodies.

[ OUR TEAM AND OUR RESOURCES]

PWW’s Operations and Protection Unit (OPU) consists of retired law enforcement officials and military personnel from elite intelligence and tactical groups around the world. They are trained in developing informants, advanced interviewing techniques, and using specialized surveillance equipment. OPU’s local assets are experts in carrying out their assignments “under the radar” to protect ongoing efforts, clients’ interests, and strategic positioning.

Our Strategy and Analysis Team (SAT) includes former Fortune 500 business executives and information experts from a wide range of industries. SAT evaluates the information gathered by the OPU and works with clients to meet their strategic needs. Our experienced attorneys ensure findings can be used effectively for evidentiary purposes if court proceedings are necessary.

We have opened satellite support offices for specific assignments and continue to do so on a per-project basis. We maintain a strategic partnership with a forensic laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which has been instrumental in identifying and tracing counterfeit and smuggled products back to the sources of origin. Our continuing education program updates our staff and the staff of our clients with information regarding security risks specific to geographical regions and the latest in intelligence gathering techniques.
