AI Due Diligence for Acquisitions
Understand what you're acquiring before you close.
Specialized AI governance due diligence for M&A transactions — evaluating the governance posture, regulatory exposure, and operational risk of an acquisition target's AI systems, practices, and capabilities.
Who it’s for
- M&A and corporate development teams evaluating AI-enabled acquisition targets
- Legal counsel and deal teams assessing technology and regulatory risk

What it is

Key outcomes
- A clear view of the target's AI systems, capabilities, and governance maturity
- Identification of regulatory, compliance, and reputational risks embedded in AI assets
- Assessment of post-close governance integration requirements
- Risk-adjusted valuation inputs for deal structuring
