Due Diligence

Practical Insight. Strategic Risk Management. Deal Confidence.

Informed decision-making demands more than just a financial review. Whether you're preparing for a merger, acquisition, investment, lending transaction, or strategic partnership, Hinshaw helps you uncover hidden risks and identify critical opportunities through focused, efficient, and goal-aligned due diligence.

We guide clients through every stage of the diligence process, including regulatory compliance, corporate governance, licensing, contracts, litigation exposure, employment practices, data privacy, intellectual property, and environmental risk. Our team understands the nuances of both deal structure and industry-specific obligations, including the impact of supervisory exams, control change filings, and other regulatory triggers.

Clients in highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, consumer credit, and insurance rely on Hinshaw’s due diligence counsel to protect transactions and preserve long-term business value. From conducting a one-off diligence review to building internal compliance infrastructure to support ongoing acquisition strategies, we help clients approach every deal with clarity and confidence.
