Due Diligence

We carry out background checks on our clients’ current or existing counterparties, such as acquisition targets, business partners or candidates for senior appointments. This helps clients better understand who they are doing business with and assess the regulatory, reputational and commercial risks associated with them.

These may include indications of involvement in fraud, corruption, political exposure, sanctions violations, money laundering and other financial crime; illegal or unethical business practices more broadly; as well as concerns over a subject’s commercial credibility, standing, financial wherewithal or asset position.
