Political Due Diligence
Foresight produces clear, rigorous assessments of political risks; we don’t provide impulsive advice that changes depending on what’s in the news that day.
The challenge:
The biggest risk to a company’s value is often government policy. Why?
- Governments can change the rules of the game in ways that can materially impact the financial results of regulated businesses, such as transportation, health care, and mining.
How Foresight helps:
It is important to assess and manage government policy risk.
- Dive deep into political and government policy risks to obtain a clear understanding of whether and how they could affect a transaction.
- Recognize that transactions have different dynamics – especially the need for confidentiality and moving quickly.
- Draw upon experience working with financial and legal advisors on transactions in highly regulated sectors, both domestically and internationally, amounting to more than $100 billion.
