Most matters touch more than one. Tell us only what you are comfortable sharing and a principal will suggest a path.
The people who hire us are usually the ones accountable for the outcome. Each pathway names what you are carrying, and which practices take the weight.
You need the facts established quickly, in a form that strengthens legal strategy without creating unnecessary discoverability or noise.
Practices you are most likely to needYou are accountable for a program that has to satisfy an examiner, survive independent testing and keep working after the consultants leave.
Practices you are most likely to needThe threat is cyber-enabled, the signal sits off-platform, and you need context your own tooling was never built to give you.
Practices you are most likely to needYou need an independent team to determine what happened, protect stakeholders and set out a defensible decision path.
Practices you are most likely to needYou are scaling into regulated territory and need compliance architecture, on-chain tracing and fraud controls that do not stall the business.
Practices you are most likely to needThe exposure is personal, the discretion required is absolute, and you want a principal handling it rather than a team you never meet.
Practices you are most likely to needYou need methodical assessment, remediation oversight and reporting that is credible, transparent and appropriately documented.
Practices you are most likely to needMost of our work arrives by referral from counsel, auditors, insurers and former regulators. We are glad to speak with you first.

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.

We are always interested in senior specialists who want to work on matters that matter, without a pyramid beneath them.
Tell us only what you’re comfortable sharing. Nothing you submit confirms the existence of a matter, and everything is handled by a senior professional.
If you would rather write directly, email us and a principal will respond, usually the same business day. For time-critical matters, say so in the subject line and we will prioritize accordingly.
