Due diligence is a structured review of a target’s financials, contracts, and operations to reveal risks and opportunities before a transaction. It helps you make informed decisions and plan for post-closing steps. In California, diligence often includes evaluating material agreements, regulatory compliance, and potential liabilities. By engaging a diligent team, you can negotiate terms that reflect the true value and risk of the deal.
Duration varies with deal complexity, data availability, and scope. A focused review may take a few weeks, while a full diligence study for a large transaction can extend longer. We tailor timelines to fit your deal and deadlines.
Common documents include financial statements, tax returns, contracts and amendments, IP registrations, employee agreements, and regulatory filings. We also look at litigation history, title documents, and material permits. The exact list depends on the deal type and industry.
Findings are summarized in a report with identified risks and recommended actions. The buyer and seller may renegotiate terms, adjust closing conditions, or decide to proceed as planned. Post-closing steps are planned to address any remaining issues.
Skipping due diligence can increase risk of undisclosed liabilities and unfavourable terms. A targeted or limited review is possible in select situations, but many deals benefit from a thorough assessment.
