Applications
One operating system. Three client applications.
Choose by what is in front of you: a company you are about to rely on, a transaction you are buying or selling, or an investor whose ownership and control may attract screening.
Use it before you rely on a company or counterparty in a live or prospective transaction, or before a defined professional commitment.
Used for
- Early transaction screening, before further diligence resources are committed
- Counterparty review and mandate acceptance
- Ownership and control analysis
- Pre-commitment assessment of a company or its principals
Use it when a specific transaction, investment or financing arrangement is in front of you, on either side of it.
Buy-side
Know what you are committing to.
Understand the exposure behind the transaction and what could change its economics.
Sell-side
Know what a buyer will challenge, before they do.
See the matters a buyer, investor or lender is likely to question while there is time to address them.
Use it when a transaction may attract investment-screening scrutiny, before jurisdiction-specific regulatory analysis is completed.
DEVIS assembles the factual picture that matters: who ultimately owns and controls the investor, where state influence sits, how control changes through the transaction, and which sensitive assets or dependencies are affected.
Built for
- M&A lawyers and general counsel
- Compliance, transaction advisory and private equity teams
- Asset managers
- Corporate development teams preparing cross-border transactions
Factual intelligence and decision support. DEVIS does not provide legal advice, determine regulatory filing obligations or replace regulatory counsel.
Role Within Diligence
A connected analytical layer. Not a replacement for specialist diligence.
DEVIS runs before, alongside or within professional diligence, connecting evidence across the transaction and showing where identified exposure warrants further consideration or specialist review.
What DEVIS adds
- A connected view of evidence across workstreams
- A status for each material finding: verified, partially corroborated, inconclusive or contradicted
- What each finding may affect in the transaction
- A report linked to its evidence
- Answers after delivery through Ask DEVIS
The client or advisory firm retains
- The client relationship and engagement scope
- Specialist diligence
- Professional interpretation
- Advice and recommendations
- Internal governance
- The final decision
