Corporate Due Diligent

Due diligence is an investigation of a business or person prior to signing a contract, or an act with a certain standard of care. Its to Uncover critical information in advance of investments, partnership opportunities, dispute negotiations or employment offers. It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations. A common example of due diligence in various industries is the process through which a potential acquirer evaluates a target company or its assets for an acquisition. The theory behind due diligence holds that performing this type of investigation contributes significantly to informed decision making by enhancing the amount and quality of information available to decision makers and by ensuring that this information is systematically used to deliberate in a reflexive manner on the decision at hand and all its costs, benefits, and risks.
Corporate Due Diligent can also be conducted when Corporate Fraud takes place to investigate and find the perpetrators who have engaged himself or others in an activity where the company suffer losses either financially or it reputation due to the action.

Business Venture Verifications

MVD International helps Business Ventures and Joint Venture entities verify the legality and authenticate the existence of the business. As BV or JV’s are an association of two or more small business concerns to engage in and carry out a single, specific business venture for joint profit, for which purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis for conducting business generally. For VA contracts, a joint venture must be in the form of a separate legal entity.

Business Loan Verification

Certain loan applicants are required to submit documents such as paystubs, income tax forms, or other tax records that verify the income stated in their loan request. We collect these documents after the posting of a loan request and carry out verification. We also verify the income of these applicants by electronically checking their income data through a third party provider. If an applicant fails to provide satisfactory information in response to an income verification request, or if we cannot electronically verify the income of select applicants, we would visit either the current employer, the authorities or request more information and documentation from the borrower.

Undercover operations

To go “undercover” is to avoid detection by the entity one is observing, and especially to disguise one’s own identity or use an assumed identity for the purposes of gaining the trust of an individual or organization to learn or confirm confidential information or to gain the trust of targeted individuals in order to gather information or evidence. Traditionally, it is a technique employed by law enforcement agencies or private investigators, and a person who works in such a role is commonly referred to as an undercover agent.
The many contexts and types of undercover tactics and the different roles that informers and police agents may play prevent any sweeping conclusions. However, given the unique characteristics of undercover work such as secrecy, prevention, temptation, immersion in criminal worlds, and entrapment, the tactic should generally be one of last resort, used only for serious offenses and subjected to intense oversight at all stages. There must be proportionality between the seriousness of a problem and the risks associated with the means. Sometimes the risks or costs of taking action will be greater than not taking action.

• Theft
• Industrial espionage

Trap purchase

Evidence of trap purchases can be critical in proving trade mark infringement, misleading and deceptive conduct and passing off. In gathering this evidence, brand owners should follow certain procedures if the evidence is to given the weight it deserves in the Court.

• Trap evidence, particularly those involving verbal exchanges with retail staff, need to be collected in a non-leading, impartial manner and notified promptly to the opposing party. Failing to provide the opposing party with an opportunity to investigate the circumstances of the purchase may significantly affect the probative value of the evidence:

• If the purchase is made by a friendly customer, then be aware that the name of that customer and relevant document may be required to be openly disclosed to the opposing party:

• Make it clear to the person arranging the trap purchase that you do not consent to any use of your trade mark during the trap purchase. Trap purchases work are often more effective if there are other instances of infringing conduct that have not been arranged by lawyers.

Trap evidence obtained in the retail environment involving verbal exchanges with salespeople is often crucial in cases of trade mark infringement, misleading or deceptive conduct and passing off. In gathering this evidence, brand owners may need to follow certain procedures if the evidence is to be given the weight it deserves by the Court. A brand owner often obtains trap evidence to assist its case. Accordingly, Courts examine trap evidence carefully to ensure it has been collected with absolute fairness. However, it is difficult for the Court to be satisfied about fairness if the Court only has the brand owner’s version of the encounter. If the opposing party has notice of the brand owner’s intention to rely on the trap evidence shortly after that evidence has been gathered. Brand owners should seek advice on how to collect trap evidence in each case. In the case of a mere trap purchase in which verbal exchanges are irrelevant, it is less likely that the brand owner will need to adopt this course of action. However, trap evidence of verbal exchanges will usually have the best chance of being given significant weight by the Courts if it is collected fairly and notified promptly to the opposing party.
