We have undertaken hundreds of due diligence engagements over the years on behalf of private equity firms, mezzanine lenders, secured lenders, strategic and corporate buyers and others. Our work has comprised:

• Financial diligence including verification of assets, reasonableness of multiples, EBITDA add backs and more
• Market, economic and feasibility studies, and
• Investigation into the background, financial condition and conduct of targets’ principals.
