DDC In the News:

DDC and President Peter Barakett positively highlighted in Institutional Investor story on Investigators who Work for Hedge Funds. READ THE ARTICLE.
“Peter used to work at an activist hedge fund and knows exactly what to look for. It’s often a race to hire him.” 
"A former lawyer, Barakett has a simple standard. The material 'has to have been legally obtained and, if necessary, admissible in court.'"
