The Client
A multinational real estate development corporation was evaluating a potential acquisition of an international target. With large-scale projects and investments on the line, the client’s CFO and general counsel needed assurance that potential risks would not undermine the deal.
The Challenge
Media reports raised concerns about the target company’s international funding sources. The client wanted to know whether those reports reflected deeper issues such as sanctions, regulatory watch lists or legal actions before advancing negotiations. Weaver was engaged to provide independent due diligence and uncover the facts.
The Process
Weaver’s professionals conducted in-country research alongside U.S.-based searches to examine the backgrounds of the target company’s leadership team and funding sources. The scope included a review of sanctions lists, enforcement actions and criminal warrants.
The findings were clear: none of the executives had been sanctioned, placed on a watch list or issued any warrants.
The Deliverables
Weaver reported the results directly to the client’s CFO and general counsel, providing objective information they could rely on as part of their internal decision-making process. While Weaver did not give an opinion on the merits of the transaction, the independent due diligence helped the client gain comfort that media coverage was not supported by any adverse records.
Armed with this knowledge, the client continued negotiations with confidence, ultimately closing a successful and lucrative acquisition.
