Attorney investigations

Management’s and beneficiaries’ awareness of certain aspects and risks of the transactions and projects being delivered allows avoiding many conflicts:

  • The information about the counterparty collected in a timely manner and completed internal investigation enables minimizing possible losses.
  • Quality informational and analytical support makes it possible to build the necessary defense line and to identify the sensitive zones of opponents if a conflict is inevitable.

The accomplishment of such tasks is possible if a multi-disciplinary approach is used: the identification and collection of evidence in respect of fraud episodes or unscrupulous practices of counterparties require competencies in several branches of law.

  • The preparation and implementation of business or significant business asset purchase or sale transaction.
  • The availability of information or suggestions about abuses by employees, partners, or third parties, criminal wrongdoings in respect of the client or the client’s company.
