Conducting Legal Due Diligence and/or Legal and Financial Due Diligence of the negotiating party or foreign contract is crucial to prevent future disputes. Dealing and negotiating with individuals involved in various legal, criminal, tax, and even family matters, or those with tax debts, bankruptcy history, and newly established companies with low credit history increases the risk significantly, making dispute occurrence predictable from the start. To avoid such situations, we recommend using legal or legal-financial due diligence services, available for both natural and foreign legal persons.
