Failure to conduct proper due diligence can mean billions in unwanted costs to your organization or your client.Due diligence can be a legal obligation, but the term more commonly applies to voluntary investigations designed to uncover hidden bad acts. It is imperative that attorneys understand and appreciate the potential risks presented by third parties.
