Pre-investment due diligence for a US private equity firm
GMTL was commissioned by a global private equity fund to conduct an independent review of an Italian biochemicals company ahead of a potential bid. We provided a thorough evaluation of the company’s management dynamics and market position, along with a full assessment of key shareholders. Our report revealed several material risks - particularly in the supply chain - and contributed to the client's decision not to proceed.
Strategic advisory services in the defence/aerospace sector
GMTL advised a major Western defence company in a multi-year bid for a large Australian contract. We helped refine our client’s bid strategy, deploying both our internal expertise and that of our Australian network to give them a clear view of how best to approach Australian officials and industry partners. Our work enabled the client to adjust its strategy and complete a successful transaction.
Litigation support in the energy sector
GMTL was brought in to provide crisis management support after a client working in the US energy sector found that a partner was potentially violating the terms of its contract. We used our network in the US and Europe to provide insights on the partner’s motives and intentions, as well as a strategy for rapid resolution in the event of litigation.
Monitoring the political and investment climate in the Middle East
GMTL is currently producing a weekly monitor of 10+ countries in the Middle East, using our intelligence network to assess the political and investment climate in each. This work helps our client to deploy resources across the region and mitigate many of the risks of working in a complex and dynamic environment.
Market Entry Assessment in Europe
GMTL recently deployed its network in 16 countries across Europe to advise a US client on a significant new market entry strategy in the EU. We produced a report that combined OSINT and HUMINT sources to assess the political climate and markets in each country, ultimately leading our client to focus on the 5 most promising markets.
Litigation support in a global dispute case
Through the collection and assessment of intelligence across a number of jurisdictions, GMTL has supported a leading US law firm in its defence of a major Middle Eastern financial institution in criminal proceedings brought by the US Government. Our work has enabled the client to make calculated discovery requests, and also has armed the law firm strategically in its discussions with government.
