Before acquiring a company, entering into a significant business relationship or undertaking a corporate transaction, it is essential to understand the legal, contractual, regulatory and operational risks involved.

Britannia BTJ conducts legal and corporate due diligence designed to identify relevant risks, liabilities, obligations and compliance issues before a transaction or corporate decision is completed.

Depending on the transaction, our review may cover:

  • Corporate structure and legal status
  • Shareholders and corporate governance
  • Material contracts
  • Licenses and permits
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Pending litigation and claims
  • Insurance arrangements
  • Employment-related liabilities
  • Intellectual property
  • Personal-data protection
  • Environmental and operational obligations
  • Regulatory sanctions and potential liabilities
  • Material financial or contractual commitments
  • Change-of-control provisions
  • Indemnities, warranties and liability provisions
  • Potential undisclosed or contingent liabilities

Where specialized technical expertise is required, Britannia BTJ can coordinate the participation of professionals from accounting, engineering, information technology, cybersecurity and other relevant disciplines.

Our objective

The objective of our due diligence is not merely to identify problems. It is to provide the client with a clear picture of the legal and business risks associated with the transaction, allowing those risks to be evaluated and addressed before the client commits to the transaction.
