(We can also arrange for referencing and verification checks).<\/li>\n<li><strong>GDPR and cyber<\/strong> \u2013 this service will help your clients to spot weaknesses in and around their digital and physical activities and assist with understanding what risks are present based on the company\u2019s current approach.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>IP<\/strong> \u2013 not only do we have experts who can assess the intrinsic features of an IP portfolio, but we also have access to a global data lake of IP which enables us to contextualise an IP portfolio relative to the competition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Timing<\/strong> \u2013 we can assist your clients to understand whether they should act now, later or perhaps never in relation to a transaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ESG, EDI and social value<\/strong> \u2013 as you will know cracking issues around these themes matters, but not necessarily in obvious ways. Our team includes experts in these areas who understand more than the headlines, including understanding what the financial risks could arise if such policies are not properly in place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regulatory<\/strong> &#8211; this is an emerging area for us, but if your clients need help we can already perform a due diligence exercise to identify issues and we are working hard to build a panel of specific experts in the various areas of regulation who can assist on the \u201cdeep dive.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial<\/strong> \u2013 this area has the widest remit. It is safe to say that if there is a commercial issue that needs checking out or validating, we have a team that can scope what is needed and then deliver it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And finally, we have formed a relationship with a top 10 firm of accountants (with corporate finance expertise too) who will work with us to complete financial due diligence exercises. \u00a0We would love to show you how we will be working with this firm to make sure that financial due diligence is performed to the standards you and your clients require, both faster and in a way that everything thing is verifiable.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently arranging meetings with law firms to have a catch up.\u00a0 (Seven this week alone!).<\/p>\n<p>Would you like for me to come over and tell you a bit more about not only about the problems we have solved around valuations, but also about our Athla Due Diligence service?\u00a0 We know you will want to satisfy yourself about this service before you tell anyone else about it.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we would love to undertake valuations for your clients.\u00a0 No requirement is too small or too large and we particularly enjoy working on the tricky ones, especially those where you know for certain that the valuation must match the words in the legals!<\/p>\n<p>To book an appointment with me (I can travel to anywhere in the UK or even aboard it that works for you), please call me on 07736 676 212 or email me at <a href=\"mailto:modwenna.rees-mogg@athlacapitalmanagement.com.%20\">modwenna.rees-mogg@athlacapitalmanagement.com. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extending the features and benefits of our valuations service to another area that matters to your clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":343,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340\/revisions\/343"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.athla.co.uk\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
