Testimonials

DDC’s approach has produced results, even when other firms had been previously unsuccessful on the same assignment.

Dennis J. Friedman Partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, New York, NY

DDC did a great job for us on a Chinese company, and we’ve since used them on several M&A projects.

Joel H. Horn Senior VP, General Counsel & Secretary Welbilt, Inc. Tampa, FL

We have used DDC on a variety of assignments, and we have been impressed with the level of detail in their reports and their responsiveness.

Adam B. Frankel Sr. Managing Director & General Counsel, Evercore

The #1 risk in private equity investing in Emerging Markets is partner selection. Detailed and accurate information on low profile executives that reside and operate in Emerging Market countries can be an incredibly challenging assignment. Due Diligence Consulting’s research process and professionalism allow them the ability to rapidly uncover the critical (and often hidden) qualitative and quantitative data that we need. I have repeatedly been impressed with the information that DDC has discovered. Due Diligence Consulting gives us a significant competitive advantage in our investments and portfolio company operations.

Benjamin Griswold Founder, Blue Water Worldwide LLC

DDC’s professional services are invaluable. Over many years, they have played a very important role in our business risk management. That’s what they do, they lower the business risk of our decisions. It’s not about just checking for a criminal record. You can do that elsewhere for $29, but it may not even be right. DDC provides us with value added judgments on the suitability of a person or entity that we are considering hiring or partnering with, and lowers the risk that we will make a bad and potentially costly business decision.

Due Diligence Consulting’s accurate and highly detailed research reports consistently deliver information on executives that other investigators and recruiters have missed. DDC’s extensive shareholder activist experience and its differentiated research results help us achieve successful outcomes for our public company clients.

Kai Haakon E. Liekefett Partner, Sidley Austin LLP

DDC’s excellence in research and in investigations has been valuable to our firm and to our clients. DDC is responsive and consistently delivers high quality reports. Peter Barakett understands time sensitivity and is always available.

Edmond E. Koester Coleman, Yovanovich & Koester, P.A.

We have used DDC for investment due diligence, pre-employment background checks and other matters. DDC is incredibly responsive, thorough and available to its clients. DDC’s reports are more detailed and more thorough than those of other suppliers we have worked with, and that level of detail has enabled us to make more informed portfolio, risk management, and hiring decisions. We strongly recommend DDC.

Salman Khan, Managing Principal & Joe Tuso, General Counsel & Managing Director Stabilis Capital Management, LP

For more than fifteen years I have used various investigation firms to support my litigation needs and have found Due Diligence Consulting LLC to be the most thorough and comprehensive for the price. DDC has helped me conduct background checks and asset searches, track down elusive witnesses, and obtain information on an opposing expert witness that I was able to utilize to attack the expert's credibility.

Jonathan B. Bruno Partner, Rivkin Radler LLP

DDC is very thorough, and they have identified issues that other firms would have missed. I would rather pay a little extra for a more thorough background check than miss something that could cost us more later.

Jake Brown General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer, Hudson Executive Capital LP

When you really want to know, use DDC. Their reports are incredibly detailed, real deep dives, yet easy to read. DDC helps mitigate risks associated with investing with third parties.

Jim Sullivan Chairman & CIO Sullivan Family Office

You guys are tenacious, mercenary, research geeks.
