Practice

Practice

About Clovis

A lean firm, built around experience.

Clovis was founded on a simple principle: a lean model staffed by highly experienced practitioners delivers top-level service at competitive rates — with the flexibility to respond exactly to a client’s needs.

Clovis Quantum exists to give organizations and individuals direct access to people who have actually run investigations, built compliance programs, responded to breaches and stood in front of cameras and regulators. Our principals come from federal and state prosecution, the FBI, global financial institutions, Big Four consulting, cyber law and broadcast newsrooms.

We work as a decentralized firm: a core of principals and an international roster of specialists engaged by matter, discipline and geography. That model lets us mobilize for a cross-border, data-intensive matter without carrying the cost structure of a large consultancy — and it means the person you meet is the person who does the work.

Our findings are meant to be used: presented to a board, filed with a regulator, tested in court or carried into the press. Everything we produce is built to withstand that scrutiny.

The Clovis point was the first true American invention — targeted, adaptable, and above all effective. So is the firm that bears its name.
