How We Assist

Our clients trust us to partner with them by:

• Initiating deep dives into proposed candidate slates.
• Engaging in comprehensive reviews of public records relevant to shareholder activism campaigns, including property, litigation, and regulatory filings.
• Triangulating traditional public records research with other sources such as social media, and a thorough review of current and archived news outlets.
• Providing analysis of our findings in the greater context of the engagement at hand.

At Forward Risk, we recognize that the success or failure of activist investor campaigns often hinges on the quality of investigative due diligence work that occurs behind the curtain.
