INVESTIGATIVE DUE DILIGENCE

A&M’s Business Intelligence team assists global corporations, investment/merchant banks,

private equity firms, hedge funds and corporate lawyers by profiling companies and their key

principals.

● In order to supply clients with the timely information they require about their potential business partners, we

assemble an array of investigative resources around the world, including former law enforcement officials,

intelligence experts, journalists, forensic accountants, industry experts, and attorneys. Our professionals have

decades of experience and have examined thousands of complex global business partners.

● We examine potential global business partners and their principals through sophisticated analysis of

international databases and available public records, but recognize that the most useful intelligence for corporate

decision makers will frequently come through discreet interviews with our network of contacts, and with former

employees, competitors and industry observers.

● We look for hidden problems in the companies as well as undisclosed or misrepresented reputational issues for

the individuals.

● We identify potential deal-breaking issues in relation to:

• Mergers and acquisitions

• Joint ventures

• Resellers and distributors

• Licensees

• Proxy contests/Hostile takeovers

13

A&M provides intelligence services that are an essential component to any acquisition, key

management decision, or when considering whether to pursue litigation.

SEARCHING FOR ASSETS

Our former law enforcement officials, prosecutors, journalists, intelligence professionals

and attorneys comb the public record to identify and locate assets hidden in the U.S. and

abroad.

We uncover and analyze asset information in the current and historical web, including

blogs, social networks and specialized databases, and send people to court houses and

halls of records to sift through litigation and administrative and regulatory filings. Alvarez &

Marsal’s staff of forensic accountants helps track the flow of funds.

Our team has searched for assets in connection with:

● Receiverships and bankruptcies

● Ponzi schemes, frauds, and corruption

● Assessing likelihood of recovery against potential defendants

● Collecting judgments

Alvarez & Marsal’s Business Intelligence team has been at the forefront of asset searching for a

quarter-century.
