Advisory & Due Diligence

Due diligence

Before a transaction, a joint venture or a significant supply relationship, we establish what can be verified about the other side and what cannot.

• Corporate verificationRegistration, ownership, filing history, directorships and group structure.
• Counterparty assessmentTrading record, public litigation and regulatory history, apparent capacity to perform.
• AuthorityWhether the individuals signing hold the authority to bind the entity they claim to represent.
• Red flagsPatterns consistent with advance-fee arrangements, undisclosed intermediaries and misrepresented mandates.

Each engagement produces a written report setting out what was checked, what was found, what could not be established, and what we would want resolved before proceeding.
