Baird Hanson Williams LLP has extensive experience representing a wide variety of mining, finance, investor, and other clients in due diligence activities. While “due diligence” may be a common way of summarizing these activities, BHW finds it useful to distinguish among pre-acquisition, transactional, and compliance reviews. In all phases of these reviews, BHW has worked with clients to develop stage-appropriate focused analysis of the target property. Pre-acquisition Review: These reviews are conducted before an acquisition is begun, and perhaps even before the target property is aware a transaction is being contemplated. BHW has served clients in a number of ways to help early decision-making about properties. BHW can undertake this investigation without alerting the target property owner. Transactional Review: These reviews are conducted during potential acquisition activities to assess, in a transactionally circumscribed manner, whether conditions at the property are acceptable to the buyer. BHW has worked with both buyers and sellers to ensure that due diligence occurs in a timely and complete manner.
Compliance Review: These reviews are conducted after the transaction is complete or at any time the owner of a property desires to ensure that the property is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. BHW has worked with clients and their consultants to develop and implement compliance reviews in a manner that protects the confidentiality of those reviews and uses information from those reviews to work out compliance issues with regulators. |
