What We Offer

Enhanced Due Diligence and Open-Source Investigations

We perform social media analysis, global compliance, watch list and sanctions database checks, corporate registration identification (if available), adverse media and internet research, litigation research (civil, criminal, bankruptcy/insolvency), open-source and public record searches, along with targeted human intelligence and source inquiries, to provide insights on potential customers, employees, third parties, and others in your supply chain.

Investment and Counterparty Due Diligence

We provide thorough pre-relationship and pre-investment due diligence services, investigating the ownership, control, operations, and leadership of targeted entities. Our assessments include evaluations of critical or higher-risk suppliers and clients, along with an analysis of the susceptibility of entities or individuals to potential future sanctions. Furthermore, we offer support for ventures into sanctioned territories by mapping out the business interests of sanctioned entities within a particular country or sector, empowering you to manage your exposure preemptively. Additionally, we offer assessments on the potential ramifications of potential designations under evolving sanctions regimes, providing tailored advice on how to navigate such situations within the context of your specific business operations. At every stage of the investment value chain, we can provide due diligence insights on hidden risk that can jeopardize returns.
