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.
