Understand the People, Companies and Risks Behind Important Decisions.
Entering a new investment, partnership or commercial relationship can create exposure that is not always visible from documents supplied by the other party.
Conflict Advisory Group provides due diligence and corporate intelligence services for businesses, investors, family offices and professional advisers operating in the UAE and internationally.
Our work can help clients verify material information, understand corporate ownership and relationships, assess reputational concerns and identify issues that may affect a proposed transaction.
Due diligence cannot guarantee that an investment or relationship will succeed.

This can be appropriate where there are:
Enhanced due diligence should focus on the identified risk rather than simply generate more information.
Where the primary subject is a prospective employee or executive appointment rather than an investment or commercial counterparty, our Pre-Employment Screening Services provide the dedicated screening framework.
Many UAE transactions involve individuals and companies with histories across several jurisdictions.
Conflict Advisory Group can coordinate corporate intelligence across relevant countries, subject to local information availability and legal restrictions.
We make clear where information cannot be independently verified.
Due diligence typically assesses risk before a decision.
Asset tracing answers a different question: what assets, ownership interests or financial relationships can be identified?
Where that is the primary objective, our Asset Tracing Services provide the appropriate commercial service.
We define the client's decision, agree a proportionate scope, research relevant companies and individuals, assess material relationships and report findings clearly.
Reporting distinguishes between verified information, credible indicators and matters requiring further assessment.
Clients can benefit from:
If you need to assess a company, investment, business partner or higher-risk relationship, contact Conflict Advisory Group to discuss an appropriate due diligence scope.
