About Us

In 1972, Jules Kroll founded a company specializing in investigative and security services and risk mitigation counseling. By the 1990s, Kroll had built a reputation as Wall Street's “private eye,” growing into a full-service global risk consulting company, adding capabilities that complemented its traditional investigative and intelligence expertise.

Today, Kroll's international HQ in New York City coordinates efforts with offices in more than 25 countries. Its multidisciplinary corps consists of over 3,800 employees serving a global clientele of law firms, financial institutions, corporations, nonprofits, government agencies, and individuals.
