About the team
The Enterprise Risk & Forensics business unit is around 600 people across the UK, we also have offshore acceleration centres in Egypt, India and South Africa. There are 5 Practices in the business unit: Enterprise Risk & Controls, Capital Projects Risk and Controls, Reporting Optimisation, Financial Crime and Investigations & Forensics.
In Investigations & Forensics we help our clients to prepare for, respond to, and emerge stronger from a wide range of business risks and issues. This could include a corruption scandal that spreads across an entire nation, a data breach that shakes customer confidence, a dispute with a business partner threatening to erode value or widespread fraud that has recently been unearthed.
Each client faces a different challenge and you could be involved in any one, or all of these types of engagements. We’ve been involved in some of the most high-profile and headline-grabbing assignments globally. Business threats, supply chain, governance, fraud, bribery & misconduct issues and dispute resolution give rise to high profile and intellectually challenging work.
Our services include:
- Forensic Investigations (including the investigation of fraud, corruption, bribery, and other economic crime to help clients respond to and emerge stronger from a range of business issues. This often involves leveraging forensic technology and corporate intelligence)
- Dispute Resolution Strategies (advising on the financial, economic and valuation aspects of claims, assisting clients through the dispute resolution process and providing independent expert testimony. We work on a wide range of disputes including litigation, arbitration, mediation, expert determination and regulatory matters)
- Forensics, Data & AI (helping clients manage and analyse vast amounts of electronic data and navigate the legal and business processes required in a crisis)
- Forensic Advisory (including rights management and licensing reviews, pre-emptive reviews, supply chain risk management and the application of governance and controls to avoid future crisis).
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
