Pillar 3 / Asset Intelligence / M&A counsel
Counterparty risk analysis for M&A diligence.
Your target has crypto holdings, foreign subsidiary structures, or offshore intermediaries. The reps + warranties in your purchase agreement turn on what you found during diligence. Asset Intelligence runs deterministic sanctions + ownership + transaction-pattern analysis per target so the diligence record is court-portable + court-defensible. Per-deal fixed fee with CREB(TM) per target.
Reps and warranties on counterparty risk turn on what diligence found. The diligence record needs to survive post-close litigation.
Post-close disputes around sanctions exposure, beneficial-ownership disclosure, and transaction-pattern risk routinely demand the diligence record. The acquirer's lawyers cite the diligence memo; the seller's lawyers attack the methodology. Asset Intelligence produces a deterministic, signed, jurisdictionally-anchored CREB(TM) per target so the diligence record is admissible without records-custodian deposition.
- OFAC + sanctions exposure. Per-target sanctions screen across OFAC SDN, UN Consolidated, EU restrictive measures, UK sanctions list. Positive hits + clearance attestations both produce admissible evidence.
- Beneficial-ownership mapping. Per-target UBO pierce across LLC + offshore + foundation structures. Critical for FinCEN Corporate Transparency Act compliance + sanctions due diligence.
- Transaction-pattern risk. Per-target on-chain + off-chain transaction-pattern analysis. Identifies counterparty exposure to mixer activity, sanctioned wallet clusters, or laundering pattern indicators.
- Reps + warranties defensibility. Post-close litigation routinely demands the diligence record. CREB(TM) output is FRE 902(14) admissible without producing JIL fact witnesses; supports both buyer + seller defense positions.

We do a 30-min walkthrough against a sanitized prior deal. You see T1 output + a sample T2 evidence packet. Most diligence teams use the T1 to determine if T2 spend is needed pre-LOI.
