A firm built around trust, judgement and discretion.

SJ Group International brings together expertise in policing, crisis negotiation, investigations and public health emergency management. Based in London, we support private clients, families and organisations in the UK and internationally.

The firm is led by Nick Shah OBE, a former senior officer of the UK National Crime Agency and author of the United Nations manual on countering kidnapping and extortion. Our team includes former national police hostage and crisis negotiators and practitioners recognised with the OBE, MBE, CBE and QPM.

We work quietly alongside individuals, families and organisations where the consequences are high and confidentiality matters.
