Frequently Asked Questions

What types of transactions do you cover? ▼
We cover all types of corporate transactions including share acquisitions, asset purchases, joint ventures, mergers, farm-in/farm-out arrangements, concession applications, divestitures, IPO preparations, and corporate restructurings. Our expertise spans mining, oil & gas, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and other sectors across African markets.
How many documents can I upload? ▼
Our platform supports up to 10 documents for Lite DD, 50 for Standard DD, 200 for Full DD, and unlimited for Enterprise DD. Each file can be up to 100MB. If you have a very large document collection, we can discuss alternative submission methods.
What happens after I submit my request? ▼
After submission, Nadia Laurent will review your request within 48 hours and contact you to confirm the scope, timeline, and final pricing. Once confirmed and payment is received, your documents will be indexed and assigned to our legal team for analysis. You'll receive regular progress updates and the final deliverables package within the agreed timeframe.
Who conducts the review? ▼
All due diligence reviews are conducted by senior lawyers with deep African transaction experience. Senior Associate Jean-Marc Diallo personally reviews and marks up draft agreements with detailed comment bubbles. Our team has extensive experience in mining, oil & gas, and cross-border transactions across the continent.
Can you review documents in French? ▼
Yes, we review documents in both English and French. Given our extensive work across French-speaking African jurisdictions (DRC, Congo Brazzaville, Guinea), we have native French-speaking lawyers on our team. Please note any French documents when submitting.
What if I need additional modules later? ▼
You can add modules at any point before the review concludes. Additional modules cost $3,000 per module for Lite/Standard tiers and $4,000 per module for Full tier. Contact Nadia Laurent to discuss adding modules to your existing request.
How is the DD Matrix structured? ▼
The DD Matrix is a comprehensive table with columns for Document ID, Document Name, Issue Identified, Risk Rating (Red/Amber/Green), Detailed Finding, Recommendation, and Status. Each row covers a specific finding with color-coded risk severity to help you quickly identify critical issues. The matrix serves as the central reference document for all DD findings.
Can this support W&I insurance processes? ▼
Yes. Our Full DD and Enterprise DD packages are designed to support warranty & indemnity insurance underwriting. We provide detailed risk registers, quantified exposure assessments, and comprehensive documentation that insurers require. We can also liaise directly with your insurance broker and their counsel.
