UK’s Schillings sets up private investigations business with US law firm Clare Locke

UK law firm Schillings has partnered with US firm Clare Locke to launch CLS Vision, a private investigations and intelligence business based in Virginia. Led by former CIA official Fred Glazier and investigations specialist Allison Everhardt, the new entity will focus on unmasking anonymous online accounts, tracing assets, and conducting deep reputational due diligence. The move expands Schillings’ services into the US market and follows its 2023 launch of a communications agency.

Schillings, known for representing high-profile clients including Prince Harry and Wirecard, already performs investigative work but aims to scale its capabilities through this joint venture. The firms emphasize ethical standards and rigorous methodology, targeting clients facing disinformation and smear campaigns. CLS Vision begins with six staff and operates as a strategic alliance between Schillings, Clare Locke, and Australian firm Giles George, announced in 2024.
