Due Diligence
Any review, against your rules
Rules-based document review for any diligence exercise, from M&A and vendor onboarding to regulatory change, with findings, gaps and exposures extracted and checked by reviewers.
The challenge
Whatever triggers it, diligence means large volumes of documents read against set criteria, on a hard deadline.
Diligence exercise, whatever triggers it
Agreed with your team before review starts
Every finding verified by a reviewer
Findings that show exposure and next steps
How modern teams approach due diligence
Diligence is not one exercise. A deal, a new vendor, a regulatory change or an internal policy update each mean reading a body of documents against defined parameters to find out what they contain, whether they comply and where the exposure sits.
Whatever the origin, we start with a clear purpose and clear review rules agreed with your team. Reviewers and AI work together to extract the information, answer questionnaires and flag gaps and risks, and every finding is checked before it reaches you, so you can assess the exposure and act.
Any diligence exercise

Rules first

People plus AI

Go slow to go fast
We prove the approach on a small sample with you first, then scale. Here is how the work flows, and where AI carries the load versus where our attorneys apply judgement.
