In the latest edition of Stikeman Elliott LLP's Views from the Market podcast, our colleague Michael Karran joins Mario Nigro in discussing due diligence trends and best practices today's deal market. As Mike noted, "Investors should wear their diligence hat in various phases of the investment cycle. It starts with fundraising, goes to their internal hiring, vetting an investment target, hiring after acquiring that target, vetting add-on acquisition targets and conducting self due diligence in advance of an exit. Shrewd investors should have an equally sophisticated and professional partner, like the Mintz Group, to provide high quality information." #duediligence #privateequity #MintzGroup
