A&M’s Business Intelligence team assists global corporations, investment/merchant banks,
private equity firms, hedge funds and corporate lawyers by profiling companies and their key
principals.
● In order to supply clients with the timely information they require about their potential business partners, we
assemble an array of investigative resources around the world, including former law enforcement officials,
intelligence experts, journalists, forensic accountants, industry experts, and attorneys. Our professionals have
decades of experience and have examined thousands of complex global business partners.
● We examine potential global business partners and their principals through sophisticated analysis of
international databases and available public records, but recognize that the most useful intelligence for corporate
decision makers will frequently come through discreet interviews with our network of contacts, and with former
employees, competitors and industry observers.
● We look for hidden problems in the companies as well as undisclosed or misrepresented reputational issues for
the individuals.
● We identify potential deal-breaking issues in relation to:
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Joint ventures
• Resellers and distributors
• Licensees
• Proxy contests/Hostile takeovers
13
A&M provides intelligence services that are an essential component to any acquisition, key
management decision, or when considering whether to pursue litigation.
LITIGATION INTELLIGENCE
We provide the intelligence to make discovery more effective and build a compelling case,
while making the process more efficient and cost effective.
Our services include:
● Pre-deposition fact-gathering
– Identifying and locating potential witnesses
– Interviewing sources
● Profiling adverse experts
● Asset evaluation
● Broker-Dealer arbitration
14
A&M’s investigative and intelligence experts work with lawyers in civil and criminal
litigation and arbitrations.
SEARCHING FOR ASSETS
Our former law enforcement officials, prosecutors, journalists, intelligence professionals
and attorneys comb the public record to identify and locate assets hidden in the U.S. and
abroad.
We uncover and analyze asset information in the current and historical web, including
blogs, social networks and specialized databases, and send people to court houses and
halls of records to sift through litigation and administrative and regulatory filings. Alvarez &
Marsal’s staff of forensic accountants helps track the flow of funds.
Our team has searched for assets in connection with:
● Receiverships and bankruptcies
● Ponzi schemes, frauds, and corruption
● Assessing likelihood of recovery against potential defendants
● Collecting judgments
Alvarez & Marsal’s Business Intelligence team has been at the forefront of asset searching for a
quarter-century.
