Investigative due diligence is an essential service for organizations and investors concerned about the unknown dimensions of a potential acquisition, investment or business relationship. Whether an organization or investor is involved in a merger or acquisition or entering into a significant relationship with a customer or vendor, conducting proactive due diligence on the individuals or entities with which they do business can help expose and mitigate hidden risks.

 

Our professionals verify the information we receive pursuant to an investigation, and evaluate that information for accuracy as well as to identify errors, omissions or misrepresentations. Working with our clients, we employ a variety of techniques that include communicating with third parties and conducting interviews. Our skilled professionals have significant experience conducting corporate and private investigations, and draw upon former backgrounds in federal law enforcement to effectively conduct field interviews and discussions with appropriate individuals.

 

We access and review public information as well as large-scale databases for property ownership, investments, and other information in order to create a comprehensive background on a subject. Our team evaluates the information produced by our research to detect anomalies or inconsistencies, recognize patterns of corporate or individual behavior, identify risk-relevant issues, and determine whether additional research is warranted. Communication is key. We regularly communicate investigative results with our clients and advise on risks, potential mitigation and other meaningful information that can assist our clients in making informed decisions about prospective business relationships.
