Efficient research and effective reporting

Vendor due diligence

When a company is being sold, a vendor due diligence serves several purpose, including helping to make the company fit for sale. Our team maps out what information needs to be provided to a buyer and provides early-stage clarity about the risks involved, so that these may be eliminated where possible. Setting up the data room with all the relevant due diligence documents also contributes to the buyer’s due diligence investigation.

Transparent and targeted

Investigating what you buy or sell is not just a legal obligation: after all, the board of directors can be blamed if matters have not been properly investigated in advance and if inaccuracies are discovered later on. It also adds value to the entire sales and integration process. Are the assumptions correct and is the financial information in line with legal reality?
