As part of a pre-acquisition due diligence, Nardello & Co. conducted a multi-jurisdictional investigation on an international mining company that included work on the company’s subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. 

Our work included a comprehensive open source review of corporate records and litigation and regulatory filings for each of the target companies in local markets, Spanish and Portuguese language media, and social media reviews, as well as targeted human source inquiries with knowledgeable industry sources. 

Our investigation identified allegations of financial statement manipulation, workplace safety violations, and environmental contamination that informed the client’s negotiations. 

Partly based on our findings, the client decided against proceeding with the transaction.
