General Business/Transactional Due Diligence
What do you really need to know to minimize the risk of a transaction? McCann Global combines both law enforcement investigation experiences with real private sector experience to bring to light the information that is not easy to find. What liabilities have the seller or joint venture partner not disclosed? What risks are hiding in the transaction? McCann Global helps to bring the relevant information to light. All transactions involve risk. Knowing is never perfect. However, the more you know going into a transaction, the more information you have to hedge risks and make better decisions.

McCann Global principals have bought companies and sold companies while serving as executives and private owners. We have been in your shoes. We have worked with hundreds of companies while they have worked through the delicate process of evaluating target businesses and assets. The due diligence process varies for different types of companies. The relevant areas of concern may include the financial, legal, tax, IT, environment and market/commercial situation of the company. Other areas include intellectual property, real and personal property, insurance and liability coverage, debt instrument review, employee benefits and labor matters, immigration, and international transactions. It also may include discovering known and unknown liabilities, review of civil litigation, and identifying and understanding the competitive issues that may attempt to disrupt or interrupt a transaction.
