White-collar crime - a hilarious practice area when you realise half the job is glorified inbox excavation marketed as elite legal advisory. One misplaced reimbursement, one “urgent payment” email, and suddenly a 14-member team is building a 68-slide “governance risk assessment” while speaking in consultant dialect about ethics culture and tone from the top. No deals, no negotiations, no courtroom drama — just Ctrl+F, chronologies, whistleblower templates, and the annual discovery that someone accepted a Diwali hamper worth ₹4,999 instead of ₹5,000.
Every matter sounds like a Netflix scandal until you realise the grand “internal investigation” is about a reimbursement policy violation and ends with a whistleblower refresher training and a 73-slide deck on ethical culture. Entire teams billing Tier 1 rates to discover that an employee accepted cricket tickets from a vendor.
