The Rule of Law and Security and Justice applied effectively and fairly by a functioning government, is the basis of all economically and socially secure societies. A failure of governance and rule of law not only affects the security and prosperity of the immediate community, but the consequences travel widely and rapidly to affect others through the mechanisms of terrorism, violent extremism and serious & organised crime (SOC). Minerva works closely with the UK Government and other national governments to help build Security and Justice capabilities and capacity. We have extensive experience of national security design and decision making, intelligence fusion, managing extremism and countering SOC. We also advise commercial clients operating in challenging and volatile contexts.
