Overview

A leading U.S. energy company was assessing a proposed strategic partnership with a high-profile Saudi family office. The client needed to validate the family office’s business affiliations, ownership structures, and legal standing before committing to a long-term collaboration.

Our Approach

A multi-layered due diligence investigation was conducted to assess both the corporate and personal integrity of the family office. This included:

• Mapping of all affiliated entities, directorships, and shareholding structures
• Background research into the family’s tree, history, reputation, and business track record
• Analysis of the source of wealth, including legacy assets and recent revenue streams
• Identification of the family office’s investment arms, key sectors of focus, and regional exposure
• Review of the investment committee’s composition, governance, and decision-making practices
• Screening for any civil or criminal litigation, regulatory issues, or reputational concerns

Results

• Comprehensive overview of the family office’s commercial and governance structure
• Confirmation of a legitimate and traceable source of wealth
• No material legal or reputational risks identified
• Report delivered with supporting documentation from official filings and regional intelligence

Impact

The insights enabled our client to move forward with clarity and assurance, confident in the transparency and integrity of the Saudi family office as a long-term partner.
