Integrity Due Diligence in Deals
Our Corporate Intelligence analysts leverage publicly available information about the deal parties to amplify information available in the data room—seeking to identify risk-relevant information that either party may not initially disclose. In collaboration with our deals teams, we offer a more holistic view into the underlying transaction.
- Geopolitical and strategic threat intelligence;
- Market, industry and competitive analysis;
- Pre- and post-investment reputational due diligence;
- Third party integrity due diligence; and
- Deals and transaction intelligence support.
