Rock solid investigations you can trust
Helping leaders and legal teams across New Zealand and Australia address today’s emerging challenges with specialist investigative expertise.
Welcome
I’m Tim Sterne, Founding Director of Basalt Solutions. I’m an experienced investigations leader and trainer with a background as a Detective Sergeant. Prior to policing I enjoyed a career in education.
Investigation combines skills in risk management, compliance, negotiation, interviewing, analysis, documentation, and reporting. Most of all, it’s about listening to people. These are skills that matter in every environment. I founded Basalt Solutions to apply my tradecraft in contexts where I could address emerging challenges and help my clients stay ahead of change.
How I can help
Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, I’m able to provide my services remotely or travel to work with clients across New Zealand and internationally.
In today’s world, forward-thinking organisations and teams don’t leave fact-finding to chance. They engage specialist expertise to deliver clarity, fairness, and resilience while respecting people every step of the way.
