What We Do

Core Investigative Capabilities

Cavallo's investigative team combines former law enforcement experience with commercial expertise. Every investigation is conducted within the full bounds of BC law, and our findings are documented to a standard that holds up in legal proceedings and HR processes.

Background & Due Diligence

Pre-employment, tenant, and corporate due diligence checks that verify who you're dealing with before you make a consequential decision.

Surveillance

Covert and overt surveillance conducted by trained investigators within legal boundaries — delivering documented evidence you can act on with confidence.

Fraud & Financial Investigation

Corporate fraud, insurance fraud, and employee dishonesty investigations — traced from initial anomaly to documented conclusion.

Our Method

How an Investigation Works

Every engagement follows a disciplined, transparent process — from initial scoping through to documented findings delivery.

01

Confidential Consultation

We assess your situation, define objectives, and establish legal and ethical boundaries before any work begins.

02

Evidence Gathering

Skilled investigators conduct fieldwork — surveillance, interviews, record collection — within strict legal parameters.

03

Analysis & Verification

Evidence is cross-referenced, analysed, and verified. We filter noise from signal so you receive clear, defensible findings.

04

Findings Report

A detailed, documented findings report — suitable for legal proceedings, HR actions, or strategic business decisions.
