DDC’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, private companies, family offices, law firms, hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, foundations, endowments, and accounting firms.

Peter Barakett, formerly the General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer at Atticus Capital LLC, founded DDC – Due Diligence Consulting LLC and DDC Investigations LLC after being repeatedly disappointed with the lack of consistency, low detail, pricing transparency, inadequate sourcing, and failure to meet deadlines by dozens of research, investigation, and consulting firms large and small that he worked with during his law firm and hedge fund career. After teaching legal research, being a database representative, assisting a professor on the publication of a law review article, practicing law, and managing the operations of a major hedge fund, he knew there was a better way.

Peter works with a great team of research and investigative professionals at DDC. Their prior experiences include working as attorneys, accountants, investigators, Federal and State law enforcement agents (FBI, DEA, and others), investigative journalists, investment analysts, and intel.

DDC has a global reach, with clients around the world, and decades of experience in sophisticated, detailed research in both the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
