Investigations. Intelligence. Integrity.
For organisations that need answers, and the expertise to act on them.
B2B Investigation & Advisory Services
When something goes wrong inside an organisation, or before it does, you need more than a checklist. You need experienced investigators who understand the legal landscape, the human dynamics, and the cross-border complexity that defines modern European business.
Hand & Heart GmbH is an independent investigation and advisory firm operating across the EU, UK, and beyond. We work with employers, legal teams, compliance officers, HR departments, procurement bodies, and executive leadership, providing rigorous, confidential, and legally defensible investigation services at every stage of the process.
Six specialist practice areas. One integrated approach. No generic templates, no shortcuts.
Six specialist practice areas
Rigorous. Independent. Legally Defensible.
When allegations arise (misconduct, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblower complaints), the quality of your investigation determines everything that follows. We handle the full process across single and multi-jurisdictional cases, in compliance with applicable employment law and GDPR.
Know who you’re dealing with, before it matters.
Pre-employment, vendor, partner, or M&A due diligence: the cost of skipping it is always higher than the cost of commissioning it. From directorship checks and sanctions screening to financial history analysis, we give you a clear, sourced picture, not a database dump.
Resolve it properly. Not just quietly.
Workplace conflict, if left unmanaged, damages organisations from the inside out. We provide structured mediation, ADR, and organisational conflict diagnostics, plus works council and labour relations advisory under German and European labour law.
The intelligence picture your competitors don’t want you to have.
Legally compliant OSINT, SOCMINT, and corporate intelligence for due diligence support, litigation preparation, competitive analysis, fact-checking, and risk assessment. Fully documented sources, methods, and legal basis. Intelligence you can act on, and defend.
Protecting the integrity of EU-funded work.
Specialist investigation of procurement fraud and irregularities in EU-funded contracts, with compliance auditing grounded in direct experience with EU Parliament and Commission frameworks. If you suspect something is wrong, or want to ensure it isn’t, we can help.
Build the capability your organisation actually needs.
Bespoke workshops, masterclasses, and advisory retainers for HR, compliance, legal, and management teams. Built around real casework in investigation methodology, OSINT, evidence handling under GDPR, and cross-border employment matters.
