Due diligence
We conduct enhanced due diligence investigations that help clients evaluate and mitigate reputational, regulatory and financial crime risks linked to investments, partnerships and other commitments.
Clients use our findings to inform negotiations, implement mitigation measures or avoid problematic transactions altogether.
We can be engaged at any stage—pre-transaction or throughout the life of a commercial relationship—to scrutinise the background, track record, financial crime profile, source of funds, culture and reputation of partners, clients, suppliers, agents or acquisition targets.
We specialise in matters of reputation and organisational culture, as well as risks tied to international anti-corruption laws (FCPA, UKBA), anti-money laundering regulations, human rights and supply-chain compliance (CSDDD, UFLPA) and global sanctions regimes.

We interrogate ESG exposure by conducting in-depth investigations into labour, environmental and governance practices, and assess findings against industry benchmarks such as the UN Global Compact, CSDDD, UFLPA and leading modern-slavery frameworks. This allows clients to pinpoint high-risk jurisdictions and counterparties, shape mitigation plans, and stay ahead of investor, regulatory and reputational pressure.
