CASE STUDY 6

Empire Pacific Investigative Services was asked to provide full personnel and financial structure of a company that was being targeted for takeover; the company was based in Oklahoma

Our due diligence team carried out a full financial investigation into the company, while our investigations team investigated the affairs of the company managers and directors to obtain structure and connections.

As a result, we were able to discover that the company had a suspicious ownership structure leading to a Government official based in overseas.

Our clients decided not to proceed with a takeover.

CASE STUDY 7  

One of the legal firms that we work for had recently merged with another legal firm in the same sector but had concerns about the activities of some of the legal partners.

Our due diligence team carried out surveillance and in depth checks to provide the client with an idea of the in and out of hours practices and life styles of a number of targeted partners.

The surveillance, investigations and due diligence team carried out both technical surveillance in the form of monitoring and observational surveillance, enabling our client to produce a list of individuals that were either carrying out work "on the side" or of individuals that out of hours lead life styles that would bring the name of the company into disrepute.
