Pre-deal & M&A Diligence
What you need to know before you commit.
An acquisition or investment decision rests on knowing who you are buying, who stands behind them, and what they carry. A clean data room is the starting point — not the answer. The real picture comes from what the records show when read together.
This solution brings together the capabilities you need before a deal closes: corporate structure and ownership, the people who own and control the target, sanctions and watchlist exposure, litigation and adverse-media history, and asset verification where relevant. Everything is coordinated by a single principal and delivered as one sourced file.
What a pre-deal package typically covers
- Corporate Due Diligence — ownership to beneficial-owner level, corporate history, filings, and registrations in every relevant jurisdiction.
- Subject Investigations — the key individuals: founders, directors, and UBOs — background, identity, and any history that matters.
- Sanctions, PEP & Adverse-Media Screening — direct and indirect sanctions exposure, political connections, and a structured adverse-media review.
- Asset Tracing — where assets are declared and where they actually sit, for deals where verification matters.
Each engagement is scoped to what the deal actually requires. Not everything above is needed every time — we discuss the matter with you first and define the right scope before work begins.
