Complex Due Diligence

To supplement publicly available information, Gryphon undertakes discreet human source inquiries with a view to identify any operational, reputational, or political risks associated with a proposed investment or partnership. Source inquiries are particularly informative in jurisdictions where public records are limited such as Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
