• Analyse search results within the context of the project and the country,
• Distil conclusions and identify indirect connections from research findings
• Rate findings based on standard or tailored risk assessment methodologies
• Summarise all relevant findings in a report
• When required, brief and present findings to internal colleagues
• Collaborate with team members across the firm to deliver joint projects

Essential
