Sensitive Investigations

Privy Consul was created for clients who place a premium on privacy. Every sensitive investigation is conducted legally and ethically — and, where structured through counsel, under privilege — with compartmentalised case handling from first contact to final report.

Independent Self Due Diligence

Reputation matters. We conduct independent self due diligence investigations and produce privileged and confidential dossiers that help clients prepare for and facilitate third-party due diligence, identify areas for improvement or change, and develop strategic communications or worldwide reputation management plans.

Kleptocracy & Asset Recovery

In cases of government officials under investigation or formally charged, we help find the best possible resolution. For sovereigns victimized by corrupt government officials, we help countries conduct their own investigations, interact with law enforcement and prosecution authorities of other countries, and trace and recover stolen assets.

Decisions involving significant business moves, large-scale acquisitions, new partnerships, and expanding operations into new, and foreign, countries inevitably involve trade-offs between risks and benefits. Privy Consul’s Deep-Level Due Diligence service supports clients’ risk management and helps minimize such business risks by providing comprehensive assessments of business targets. A distinct tool to financial and legal due diligence, Privy Consul’s Deep-Level Due Diligence delves into the people behind the target company; their motives and interests, past behavior in other roles, and any other information that could reveal behavior contrary to the strategy of Privy Consul’s clients.

Our unique Deep-Level Due Diligence methodology produces a broad and detailed overview of the designated target, taking into account a multitude of financial, marketing, legal, and technical aspects.

Privy Consul specializes in gathering and analysing intelligence that enables our clients to better understand their business environment, enhance their ability to identify business risks and opportunities, and leverage their competitive edge. Our competitive intelligence service is based on cutting-edge methodology that includes high-end information gathering and research capabilities, bolstered by solid technical and legal acuity.

In the rapidly changing environment of today’s business arena, exclusive knowledge constitutes a significant business advantage and a game-changing tool. The ability to obtain timely, relevant information, and to draw the correct conclusions from its analysis, is essential for different aspects of business development and performance, such as keeping track with main competitors, performing M&A’s and big investments or forming strategic partnerships. Obtaining this edge requires superior intelligence skills and a well thought of, and carefully executed, research plan.
