From México to Iraq, Vance's specialized teams provide advice to executives and diplomats in the most hostile countries. You get a team of regional experts who provide detailed assessments of foreign operating environments and identify specific risks of conducting business locally.

Vance's unique advantage is that Vance develops small, exceptional intelligence teams that are rigorously vetted; highly networked with local influencers, including business leaders and domestic and international law enforcement; intimately knowledgeable about local customs, culture, religion, politics, and geography; and highly qualified through intensive training.

Vance's elite teams have conducted investigations in more than 100 countries. Today, Vance helps facilitate business in the Middle East (including Libya, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States), México and Latin America, the United Kingdom, Europe (including Central and Eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia), Northern and Western Africa, and across the Subcontinent and Asia-Pacific.
