We perform due diligence on the background, commercial track record, market reputation and integrity of prospective acquisition targets, JV partners, clients and other counterparties. Our services strengthen negotiations, inform valuations and protect corporate reputations.
Our associates have specific industry knowledge, years of experience, regional exposure, proven analytical skills and comprehensive transactional expertise to support any due diligence engagement within the Caribbean and Central America.
Due Diligence
Colibri provides holistic due diligence and compliance coverage fit for every purpose.
Offering bespoke services and reporting, we work with our clients to understand the scope most appropriate to their needs and tailor our services to uncover and map their specific risks.
In an ever-changing and increasingly active regulatory environment, the repercussions of not conducting effective due diligence can be considerable. Due diligence research and reports are a cost-effective way to detect the legal, regulatory and reputational issues a new business partner or vendor may pose, allowing you to see the full picture and determine risk at scale.
We provide due diligence and compliance services for the Caribbean and Central America on entities and individuals, focusing on risks such as financial crime, sanctions, corruption, exposure to government or public officials, modern slavery, human rights violations, and other governance risks.
