Crisis intelligence

Corporate Due Diligence and Investigation (CDDI) has a wide, experienced network of detectives, investigators and researchers accustomed to working under pressure. While each project must be scoped and evaluated prior to the signing of a detective contract, we are not afraid of tight deadlines or high-pressure issues.

Our teams have experience with issues ranging from money laundering to VAT carousel and social engineering scams to direct threats of violence or kidnapping made against individuals to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act questions that could potentially threaten the viability and reputation of your company. Not only can we advise and back your company in difficult civil and criminal litigation issues, but we also offer crisis management and can point you to proven (and affordable) legal guidance.

In this respect Corporate Due Diligence and Investigation (CDDI) is the go-to risk intelligence and corporate detective agency focused on Central Europe and the CIS countries. With key consulting professionals, investigators and detectives throughout the region, CDDI is not only positioned, but it has the experience and reach to offer a wide range of litigation support and investigative needs, ranging from crisis litigation research to pre-transaction due diligence to more specified services such as surveillance, asset trace work, site security audits and investigations and sting operations.

In addition, through the founder's more than 25 years of experience in the region, a wide range of PR services (ranging from crisis consultation to editing, design, media campaign review and graphic support) can and has been applied in cases ranging from real estate funds and hedge funds to private equity funds and major manufacturers.

Our strategy

As not only a risk consultancy, but a licensed detective agency, CDDI goes beyond typical consultancy services in that needs ranging from pre-transaction to litigation support to asset searches can be and are conducted thoroughly and within the confines of the law. This not only guarantees court admissibility, but it also ensures that your firm does not fall prey to the trappings of Foreign Corrupt Practice Act or British Anti-Bribery infractions, as could be the case when using typical consultancies, which are often unlicensed even in their own respective countries--and which rely on subcontractors that they conveniently do not control. Key to our activities is continued access to legal expertise not only in the CEE but in the CIS countries, which paradoxically offers unique flexibility and a realistic approach to your specific scenarios or situations.

Regional and global presence

Our reach extends throughout the region, but goes further to enable on-demand approaches beyond the CEE and CIS region to that of the Middle East and Africa. That said, each client and each potential client'whether these located in a CEE core country or in a less (or more) regulated location'is treated on a case-by-case basis in order to ensure that we will in fact not only deliver, but over deliver. This commitment to full and discreet service is what we believe separates us from our competitors on any given mandate.
