Almost all potential clients are engaged in some forms of external or internal corporate, operational, financial, technological, or other due diligence. In our experience, the largest gap in effective due diligence is often human.  Who are the key players (including the client), what are their known and less known or hidden strengths and weaknesses, and how can weaknesses be utilized effectively to improve the client’s position.  Use of our RI² techniques provides the foundation for all of our engagements.

We work closely with some of the country’s best-known litigators and defense counsel, successfully representing high-profile individuals and companies. Our unique Toolkit allows us to provide important and often unique data, insight, and assessment of risks and defenses. Our engagements are always constructed to establish and preserve attorney client privilege—privilege which has been tested and upheld in US Federal Court.

Dealing with hostile shareholders or unwanted suitors requires a multidisciplinary use of RI²M techniques. Working closely in conjunction with counsel, our risk assessment and active intelligence can provide a strong foundation for defense on hostile takeovers or against activist shareholders.

Acquirers require intensive investigative due diligence to identify often unknown or unreported risks and threats which traditional due diligence often fails to uncover. Boards and managements of target companies require assurance that the representations they are making are accurate and defensible. Both benefit from our RI²M techniques.

Reputation Management should be an ongoing process for public corporations and high-profile individuals. Our “Red Team / Blue Team” approach identifies internal risks and external threats. Once identified, these risks and threats can be mitigated quietly and effectively —and continually monitored. Most importantly, an actionable plan for overall, and in particular, Digital Reputation Management is vital to long term reputational consistency and preservation.

We provide analysis and implementation of CEO evaluation and succession, executive compensation, board member selection, corporate strategy and development of corporate culture that applies to today’s business world. Our analysis and development of shareholder engagement protocols can help companies better appreciate the priorities and concerns of the company’s shareholders and thus adjust their tactics and practices accordingly. We are expert at developing strategic media campaigns and preparing our clients to tell their story most effectively.

Crisis management is the process of practical handling of major events which threaten to harm either an individual or a corporation. Crisis management is a reactive process as these events tend to occur without warning. Crisis Management requires an “all hands on deck” approach combined with our years of experience in dealing with a variety of unique situations. We typically work closely with client counsel to coordinate a comprehensive approach to resolving the crisis.

We help our clients understand and traverse international antitrust systems, aid strategically in securing merger approvals, and prepare for complex encounters or defeat challenges from those who contest their strategy.

Organizations can be both positively and negatively impacted by regulatory and legal policy. We work closely with counsel and the most highly accomplished advisors and lobbyists of governmental and regulatory policy makers to develop a robust governmental relations strategy that allows for your interests to be protected and your organization to resolve potential conflict.

Cyber security has become an integral part of corporate risk management. Our team provides an independent assessment of potential risk vectors. Utilizing military grade cyber conflict simulation strategy, we provide an approach to cyber security that is realistic, relevant, and up to date. By accounting for both present and future requirements, we provide systems and procedures to help mitigate our client’s exposure to hostile threats.
