Delivery, Compliance & Independence

Periplus engages on retainer, project, or phase-based terms—typically on event-driven mandates where a transaction, dispute, or political transition has created a question the formal record cannot answer. The intelligence Periplus produces determines what the client does next. Retainer engagements provide ongoing monitoring and advisory. Project engagements address a specific question—agreed with the client before commencement, broken into sub-questions, and deployed against pre-established interlocutor networks. Phase-based mandates sequence intelligence gathering, synthesis, and strategic advisory across a more complex or extended brief.

Findings are delivered through written analysis, executive briefings, and in-region consultations—informed by in-country interlocutor networks across 85 jurisdictions. For counsel-led matters, Periplus provides chronologies, corroboration notes, provenance attestations, and evidentiary bundles. Expert reports and testimony are available for proceedings before LCIA, ICC, ICSID, SCC, SIAC, HKIAC, and DIAC tribunals.

Collection, coordination, and synthesis are structurally separate. Periplus maintains strict independence: no equity interests, no trading positions, and no contingent compensation tied to analysis or client outcomes. Engagements are conducted within UK, US, EU, and UN legal requirements and OECD guidelines on anti-corruption, sanctions, and data protection. Each mandate is screened for ethical, conflicts, and independence considerations before acceptance.
