Corporate intelligence and due diligence

We are able to make local source inquiries about individuals, groups or organisations in territories across the Middle East and Africa. Due diligence can include analysis of regulatory risks, the likelihood of government intervention and the relationships between business and politics. We can also assess the influence of key political figures on a particular operation and provide intelligent analysis of on the ground risks, including the activities of militant groups and civil unrest.

Litigation, corporate record and media searches

We provide media searches in major languages across the Middle East and Africa. We can also undertake litigation and corporate record searches in most jurisdictions. In countries where it is difficult or impossible to obtain accurate records – for example where local laws and practices are obstacles to searches – we help clients understand the limitations and extract the best results possible from difficult circumstances.

Political risk intelligence and analysis

Our analysis is built on knowledge gained through continual monitoring of political developments, coupled with an on-the-ground approach to understanding how political dynamics impact on investors and business partners with interests in the Middle East and Africa. We provide intelligence and insights on political dynamics and stability and, most importantly, people in positions of power.
