CORPORATE INTELLIGENCE AND DUE DILLIGENCE

Experienced Corporate Intelligence And Due Dilligence Solicitors in London

Our Corporate Intelligence practice focusses on obtaining admissible evidence from challenging jurisdictions without breaking the law.

This ethically collected intelligence defines our clients’ pre-transaction due diligence which plays a crucial role in their decision-making process. It is also deployed in court as part of our clients’ litigation or arbitration strategy where it provides a crucial strategic advantage.

Protected by legal privilege, our Corporate Intelligence team provides transparent, bespoke investigatory services for clients as diverse as governments and national banks to corporates and High Net Worth individuals.

Our key services include:

Pre-transaction due diligence

The financial, reputational and regulatory risk associated with transactions has never been higher, especially in frontier markets, and our pre-transaction due diligence mitigates this risk, enabling our clients to make informed decisions.

Litigation support

Successful litigation or arbitration is often underpinned by admissible intelligence which plays a crucial role in dispute resolution. Our legally trained team understands the importance of locating crucial witnesses, challenging the other side’s litigation strategy or obtaining corporate data from opaque jurisdictions which can help explain complex ownership structures and assets and is regularly retained by leading law firms and GCs.

Asset tracing

Assets are often hidden behind complex offshore structures but with a team dedicated to piercing these corporate veils, we are able to support the enforcement of judgments or awards and identify for counsel the most amenable jurisdictions in which to enforce.

Investigating fraud

Against a backdrop of greater regulatory compliance and legislative scrutiny, businesses need to counter the increasing risk of business fraud with ever more vigilance and resources. Our expert fraud investigators are able to both mitigate the risk of fraud and investigate complex white-collar crime anywhere in the world whether that be conducting supply chain and regulatory investigations or cyber-crime and money laundering investigations.

THE AFRICAN MARKET:

Africa is an emerging market with a lot of business opportunities. However, business can be quite risky if you do not carry out proper due diligence. Our team of legally trained investigators most of whom speak the local languages can provide you the information you require in order to make that important business decision.
