Post Transactional Due Diligence
Even with well-thought-out plans in place, business transactions can lead to surprises and problems that put your company at risk of loss, rectify the situations with post-transactional due diligence.
An investor loses money in a start-up, a company director pays for goods sold by a company that didn’t exist, a business leader unknowingly become a victim in a money laundering scheme – these scenarios occur every day across the globe. Thankfully, you can use post-transactional due diligence to identify what went wrong and see how you and your company can recover from the situation.
What is post-transactional due diligence?
Due diligence is the investigative process that identifies, verifies and confirms the claims of another party. Ideally, due diligence is thoroughly carried out before a business transaction. However, that is not always the case. Company directors often need to make snap decisions due to time constraints or a sense of urgency. When things go wrong later, they need to address the problems and this is where post-transactional due diligence can help.
Post-transactional due diligence is the act of carrying out due diligence after a business transaction has been made. This act is necessary when a company suffers a loss or experiences a negative consequence after a business transaction.
We are ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. This means we have an unrivalled dedication to data integrity and commitment to quality management. You can count on our accurate, thorough and unbiased due diligence reports.
Have you recently purchased a business and even though due diligence was conducted prior to purchase, things don’t seem to add up in real life?

Asset tracing & recovery
If you have lost a significant amount of money to a perpetrator and you want to recover the lost assets, our asset tracing team is ready to help. Call us on +44 (0)20 8108 9317 today.
We will review the assets involved, in what jurisdiction(s) they are held, how liquid they are and what are the chances of a successful recovery. We can also work with your appointed solicitors to protect the assets through obtaining a search order, a freezing injunction, or a Norwich Pharmacal order.
A search order: Previously known as Anton Piller order, this court order allows the applicant’s solicitors to enter the respondent’s premises and seize relevant evidence covered by the order. This is to prevent potential evidence from being destroyed. A search order is also known as a search and seizure order.
A freezing injunction: Formerly referred to as a Mareva injunction, this order prevents a respondent from disposing of, or dealing with, the assets.
A Norwich Pharmacal order (NPO): This order requires a respondent to disclose certain information to the applicant. It is commonly used when the respondent is a third-party who is involved in the situation (albeit innocently) and who possesses information pertaining to the case.
