He was also involved in analysis of wasted costs involving a luxury hotel development, investigations into alleged bribery involving a major bank in sub-Saharan Africa.
Phillips joins Quantuma to develop the London-based investigations practice and grow a team of investigations, technology and business intelligence professionals around him.
Phillips said: “I am delighted to have joined Quantuma as it embarks on its next chapter, preparing to accelerate its already impressive growth, with the recent investment by Sun Capital.
“I am looking forward to further developing the London based investigations team and joining forces with colleagues from across the firm’s international offices, including Angela Barkhouse in the Caribbean, Yaser Dajani in the Middle East and Gavin Pearson in London, to drive forward the firm’s cross-border investigations and business intelligence practice.”
Carl Jackson, Quantuma CEO, added : “Over the course of the last five years we have built a highly regarded disputes and eDiscovery team in the UK, which acts for some of the world’s leading law firms, and regularly undertakes high profile domestic and international assignments.
“The recruitment of a London-based anchor for our international investigations team is the obvious next step for Quantuma. I am delighted that Chris has chosen to join us and look forward to him developing and growing our London-based investigations practice, as we build a team of investigations and business intelligence professionals around him.”
