As part of its push into the central European business, the firm said it was creating a Zurich office.

The Risk Advisory Group, a global intelligence and investigations advisory firm, has opened a new office in Zurich as part of its European expansion plan, the firm said yesterday. 

The office will be led by Tim Stanley, director at Risk Advisory. He joined the business in 2019, heading up the Hong Kong office and leading RA’s Asia business. He is a certified fraud examiner and is experienced in supporting corporate clients dealing with risk and compliance, fraud investigations, business and regulatory disputes, and anti-bribery and corruption cases.

“Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of changes in the European regulatory environment – from changes to Swiss banking secrecy laws to the introduction of German supply chain regulations. It’s vital that we are on the ground to help our European clients navigate a course through these changes. Switzerland is the perfect location for us to do precisely that,” CEO Chris Rowley said.

Stanley added: “While we have advised clients in Switzerland for over 20 years, the opening of our Zurich office will allow us to deepen these relationships. It also gives us an opportunity to develop new clients and help them navigate some of the increasing complexities in risk, compliance, fraud investigations, ESG matters and legal disputes.”
