Over the last twelve months our teams have stood up AI-augmented audit pipelines for a manufacturing client, advised a residents' welfare association on a disputed maintenance reconciliation, represented corporate clients in indirect-tax matters before appellate forums, and conducted physical verification audits across precious-metal vendor sites and a multi-location hospital group.
