Due Diligence Services in Spain

We help investment funds, banks, law firms and private individuals assess potential risks from new and existing business partners in Spain.

Instead of relying solely on desk-based due diligence, we provide clients with an additional level of assurance through undertaking human source inquiries (‘HUMINT’).

We aim to provide actionable intelligence in relation to the following risk areas:

· Reputation

· Regulatory Compliance

· Bribery and Corruption

· Conflicts of Interest

Case Studies
Renewable Energy Company
Our client, a US-based investment fund, requested additional checks on the founder of a Spanish renewable energy firm for potential bribery and corruption risks. We conducted confidential conversations with former employees to understand the company’s interactions with local councils during the land permit granting process. These discussions revealed a lack of company-wide ethics and compliance programmes, as well as concerns regarding gift-giving and corporate hospitality.
AI Healthcare Company
On behalf of a European venture capital fund, we conducted enhanced due diligence on a Spanish AI healthcare company. Through discreet inquiries, we gained insights into the demanding managerial style of a senior manager and identified the person’s conduct as a major driver for high employee turnover.
