Our buyer due diligence service works with acquirers and lenders to evaluate the ways in which politics, policy and regulation shape an asset’s value. This can include transaction-based political due diligence to inform bid/offer pricing and acquisition strategy and portfolio reviews to stress test holdings against major political or regulatory change.
Our strategic advisory services integrate our macro view directly and concretely into a client’s strategic planning for key events such as mergers and acquisitions, market entries and major strategy changes.

Our vendor due diligence services focus on supporting vendors in building credible, evidence-based sales narratives for assets. This can be crucial where policy and regulatory frameworks underpin the asset’s business model. The need to explain the underlying policy framework which the asset relies on to potential buyers or lenders is an integral part of the sale process.
