Global Advisory Firm Continues to Bolster Capabilities Worldwide
StoneTurn, a global advisory firm that assists companies, their counsel and government agencies on regulatory, risk and compliance issues, investigations, monitorships and business disputes, today announced the opening of a Johannesburg office and the addition of Partners Louise Jordaan and Mike Roos in South Africa.

The South Africa-based team will assist companies and their counsel with conducting investigations, evaluating corruption-based risks and providing financial consulting services, including expert testimony, throughout Africa. Louise and Mike, each with over 20 years of experience, will continue to work with their clients in the region, collaborating with the firm’s experienced forensic accounting, international arbitration, expert testimony and investigations professionals across the U.S., U.K., Germany and Brazil.
