Quick Answers

Common questions

Concise answers to questions clients often ask before engaging an investigator.

What is investigative due diligence?

Investigative due diligence is focused fact development used to reduce uncertainty before a significant transaction, relationship, appointment or commitment.

What can due diligence examine?

The scope may include identity, corporate connections, litigation or public-record issues, business history and other information relevant to the client's decision.

Is due diligence the same as a standard background check?

Not necessarily. Investigative due diligence is typically more targeted and contextual, with scope determined by the decision, risk and available lawful sources.

Discuss the general nature of the matter confidentially.
