• EXPERIENCE PRIOR TO NARDELLO & CO.

  Prior to joining Nardello & Co., Chris was Senior Advisor to a US investigations firm, advising clients on investigative matters and managing projects that spanned geographies and disciplines. Chris also spent 11 years in the London office of a global investigations firm, setting up its Central and Eastern Europe practice and running its Business Intelligence operation before becoming Regional Managing Director of the Consulting Group in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Chris is also the author of four acclaimed novels that have been published internationally.

• Morgan Jones led a broad and complex investigation into suspected corruption by the former management of a Middle Eastern state-owned company. This involved the simultaneous application of the full suite of investigative methods, including email review, interviewing, source intelligence, forensic accounting, analysis of financial flows, asset-tracing, open-source investigation, and extensive liaison with local law enforcement and the public prosecutor’s office. The effort produced clear, admissible evidence of corruption and a comprehensive exposure of those who had instigated the scheme and benefited from it.
• Morgan Jones investigated the legitimacy of a prominent insolvency administration process that some claimed had been intentionally skewed by a European government in favor of certain creditors for political purposes. The inquiry, which developed evidence of bias and secured the cooperation of witnesses who could support the case, formed the backbone of the client’s case in arbitration.
