Due Diligence in California

What is Due Diligence?

Due diligence is the structured investigation of a business or transaction before closing, financial records, tax returns, contracts, litigation history, intellectual property ownership, employment compliance, regulatory standing, environmental matters, and asset titles. Findings frequently shift the purchase price, the indemnification terms, or whether the deal closes at all.
