Due diligence

[  Prevent legal risks and solve legal problems  ]

Due diligence is one of Mandarin's core businesses. Mandarin’s professional investigation team has carried out various types of investigations and has rich experiences in this filed. In view of the major, complicated and difficult cases, by means of its unique investigation concepts and detective means, Mandarin can solve practical problems for our clients quickly and efficiently. 

As a professional due diligence firm, Mandarin strictly keeps confidential the information of the entrusting companies and individuals during the investigation and will provide feasible suggestions and legal solutions according to the interests of the clients after investigations.

Purpose of due diligence investigation The primary purpose of due diligence is to provide clients with an evaluation of the legal qualification of the target company's relevant projects and the compliance of various matters related to the projects with the legal provisions. The ultimate purpose is to prevent risks and avoid unnecessary mistakes and losses.  After the completion of due diligence, lawyers will give the client an authentic and reliable conclusion of the investigation. Since the purpose of the lawyer's due diligence is to reveal and prevent risks, rather than to facilitate the transaction, lawyers will give the client a full reminder of legal risks.

The value of due diligence As a professional third-party intermediary, Mandarin can be independent from investors and target enterprises. We can ensure that due diligence reports are objective, professional and comprehensive. When you consider a business deal, you should do due diligence first. A neutral and independent survey conducted by Mandarin will give you the true information, help you to weigh the advantages and risks, and improve your decision-making ability. Whenever there is a crisis, you can trust in Mandarin. As a trustworthy partner, Mandarin is reliable and willing to help you.  After the completion of due diligence, Mandarin will draft and issue the due diligence reports and communicate with the client. We will list the problems identified in the survey one by one, and explain the problems, possible impacts, and possible solutions.
