Madeleine Research supports consultancies, law firms, investors, and corporate risk teams with discreet investigative research, enhanced due diligence, litigation support and political risk analysis across Brazil and Argentina.

What We Do
Madeleine Research provides independent, actionable intelligence and contextual analysis that allows clients to make informed decisions.
We support clients with:
Investigative and enhanced due diligence
Business, political, and regulatory intelligence
Litigation and disputes support
Our work is grounded in human-source enquiry. We draw on high-level contacts across politics, finance, business, law, and government to produce reports that go beyond what is publicly available and delve deep into the subjects.
This source-led approach is complemented by extensive open-source, litigation, regulatory, judicial, and media research across Brazil and Argentina, allowing us to provide well-rounded assessments designed for practical use.
Who We Work With
We are regularly instructed by:
Global and boutique risk advisory firms
International and regional law firms
Private equity and institutional investors
Corporate compliance and risk teams
We often act as a local intelligence partner, complementing clients’ internal analytics with ground-truth research derived from carefully assessed human-source insight and regional context.
How We Work
Our approach layers elite human-source research on top of rigorous open-source research to provide clients with nuanced and practical assessments of risk.
Every engagement is tailored, confidential, and conflict-free.
Our process typically includes:
· Focused scoping — We assess the subject, mandate, jurisdiction, sensitivities, and potential risks before outlining what can realistically be achieved.
· Structured research — We begin with open-source, litigation, media, regulatory, judicial, and public-record research to build a clear factual base.
· Targeted source enquiry — Only once the research base is established do we identify and approach relevant human sources.
· Discreet engagement — Source selection is handled carefully to protect confidentiality and ensure enquiries are conducted appropriately.
· Transparent reporting — We provide detailed source descriptions and, where possible, full or near-full transcripts of interviews.
· Ethical standards — We do not use pretexts or false identities.
· Senior validation — Findings are reviewed by experienced senior staff. Source information is corroborated where possible and assessed for relevance, reliability, and practical value.
· Clear outputs — Results are synthesised and contextualised in concise, defensible reports that can be used by senior decision-makers
