Risk Consulting

Simon International offers a range of risk consulting services, many of them focused on the pre-transaction stages of deal-making.

The company to be acquired is the subject of our due diligence services, brought to bear fairly early in the process of acquisition.  

Competitive intelligence can be useful before the transaction in order to understand the business environment and subsequent requirements for the client’s own corporate strategy and business processes.

Political risk assessment is recommended at the pre-transaction stage as well, to cover the national and international settings. Subsequently, over the life of the investment, these assessments can be useful at critical junctures.

These and other specialized services are equally useful under other challenging circumstances that a client may encounter.  For example, due diligence techniques may be paired with competitive intelligence approaches to deal with a newly hostile public relations environment that requires state-of-the-art information technology monitoring.  Internal corporate fraud or intellectual property theft can also present circumstances that call for combining computer forensics & IT consulting.
