Introduction
EBM Consulting supports clients seeking to mitigate their risk in a wide variety of situations which require counter party diligence research and investigations such as pre M&A, pre Joint Venture, FCPA compliance and pre-employment screening situations..
Counter Party Diligence & Compliance Services
Our research teams research and investigate issues such as corporate registration details, beneficial ownership, political, military and criminal links, civil litigation history, regulatory issues, influence, business practices, industry and integrity reputation so our clients can make informed decisions and assess risk about counter parties.
Such research and investigations are often undertaken discreetly and typically compliment legal and financial counter party diligence processes.
