Legal Due Diligence

Overview

Credence’s diligence team is trusted by clients to assist with legal due diligence in transactions, including venture financing, technology transactions, and acquisitions. Our diligence attorneys are subject matter experts, and we leverage modern technology tools to deliver efficient, cost-effective and timely service. We are highly skilled and meticulous in the review and analysis of documentation, and our thorough diligence review encompasses corporate structure, company capital, prior venture financing, intellectual property, tax, employment and assignment of inventions, licenses, material contracts, consent and/or notification obligations, real estate, and litigation. 

 

During our diligence review, our diligence attorneys not only prepare legal diligence and red flag reports, but we also work with clients on how to address or mitigate identified risks. Specifically, we offer the following services in legal due diligence engagements: 

  • Vendor/Sell Side Due Diligence: We conduct legal due diligence on vendors and prospective sellers in anticipation of a major transaction. 
  • Purchaser/Buy Side Due Diligence: We assist buyers and investors in conducting legal due diligence on targets or investee companies. 
  • Due Diligence Report: On both occasions, we prepare due diligence and red flag reports detailing our findings and recommendations. 
  • Risk Mitigation: We work with our clients to address and mitigate the risks identified during our due diligence review.
