IP, IT & Data Due Diligence

Why You Need an IP, IT & Data Due Diligence

Whether you are investing in, acquiring or partnering with a company, legal risks relating to intellectual property, IT systems and data can materially impact valuation and deal execution.

A targeted due diligence helps you:

• avoid acquiring assets that are not fully owned or transferable
• evaluate the robustness of IT and data governance frameworks (including GDPR compliance)
• identify key risks early
• anticipate negotiation points
• prioritise remediation actions

Our deliverables:

• clear and concise risk reports
