Due Diligence in Poland and Ukraine
KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH
A new partner, supplier or senior hire can bring risks that are not visible on paper. We check who they really are, who stands behind them and whether anything in their past should concern you.
Every check covers:
• Identity and corporate records
• Ownership and links to other entities
• Litigation, sanctions and adverse media
• A clear written summary of the findings
NDA available before any details are shared.
PARTNERS AND COUNTERPARTIES
Before you sign a contract or enter a joint venture in the region, we verify the company and the people behind it, so you can negotiate knowing the risks.
Within the service:
• Company registration and ownership structure
• Key people and their business history
• Sanctions and politically exposed persons
• Reputation and local sources, where appropriate
PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
People in sensitive roles, from drivers and household staff to senior managers, should be checked before they are trusted. We screen candidates discreetly and within the law.
Within the screening:
• Identity and right-to-work checks
• Employment history and references
• Public records and adverse media
• Consent-based checks in line with the GDPR
INVESTMENT AND ACQUISITIONS
Investors entering Poland, Ukraine or the wider region need to understand the people and the environment around a deal. We add the security and integrity view to your financial and legal due diligence.
Within the service:
• Integrity checks on owners and management
• Local environment and security risks
• Hidden links and conflicts of interest
• Findings presented to your advisers
DUE DILIGENCE: HOW IT WORKS
Each check is scoped to the decision you need to make. Final scope and budget are agreed in writing once we know who is to be checked and why. All work is carried out within the law and the GDPR.
What a check can include:
• Identity: people and companies
• Ownership: structure and beneficial owners
• Records: courts, registers and insolvency
• Sanctions, PEP and adverse media
• Reputation: discreet local enquiries where lawful
• Security: risks around people and assets
• Report: findings and a clear assessment
How an engagement begins:
• Step 1. A private conversation, under NDA
• Step 2. Agreement on subjects, scope and deadline
• Step 3. A written proposal with scope and budget
• Step 4. Research and verification
• Step 5. A written report and a briefing call
To prepare a proposal, we ask for:
• Who or what is to be checked
• The decision the check supports
• Your deadline and any known concerns
