Service

Decades of experience of working in emerging markets gives us access to the key policy and decision-makers that matter. We are able to make timely interventions to identify and defuse emerging threats. We combine this with background intelligence gathering to anticipate pending political and regulatory shifts and act as an early warning system for our clients.

We provide strategic insights to allow leaders to make the right decisions on who they do business with. This includes carrying out background checks on existing counterparties, business partners or candidates for senior appointments and identifying the ultimate beneficial ownership of acquisition targets. This allows our clients to better understand who they are dealing with and assess the regulatory, reputational and commercial risks associated with them.

We advise clients on political, macroeconomic and sovereign risk. These can have a direct impact on businesses via abrupt policy or regulatory shifts, or through broad economic weakness. Non-transparent politics fuels corruption, while economic instability feeds civil unrest.

We analyse these risks and produce assessments tailored to the needs and risks of specific companies and sectors.

Using intelligence sources, we map out, analyze and interpret the political, regulatory and commercial landscape so clients can operate with their eyes open and better understand the key drivers of their markets.

We do this through written reports and visual illustrations of our analysis in the form of stakeholder maps and connected-network charts.
