Counterfeiting and piracy are a drain on businesses and the global economy. It can cause widespread loss of lawful employment and a massive fall in tax revenues.

The creative community is robbed of reward for effort and innovation. The incentive to invest is reduced. Unsafe counterfeit products are also a health risk to consumers.

Often there are links with organized crime.

Our specialist teams and expert investigators work with governments and law enforcement agencies to help identify and put a stop to counterfeiting activities. We also aim to create awareness among the industry and identify developing trends and new patterns.
