Arnoldt Van Der Merwe provides specialised commercial forensic and workplace investigation services to organisations across South Africa, combining investigative precision with labour-sensitive process awareness.
Certified Commercial Forensic Practitioner, Certified Fraud Examiner, and private investigator with more than two decades of experience in forensic investigation, labour relations, and serious commercial misconduct matters.
His work is geared toward producing outcomes that are not only forensically robust, but also procedurally sound and capable of supporting internal, regulatory, or dispute-resolution processes.
Many internal matters are mishandled not because the facts are unavailable, but because evidence is not preserved, process is not aligned, or decision-making becomes reactive. This model is built to address both the substance and the procedure.
Investigation support tailored to the operational realities of professional practices, private employers, and commercial environments where internal risk must be handled lawfully and efficiently.
Engage specialist support early to preserve evidence, reduce procedural risk, and stabilise the matter before escalation creates greater legal, reputational, or operational exposure.
Engage evidence-driven support for workplace investigations, commercial crime matters, disciplinary hearings, crisis response, and related advisory requirements.
