Mintz Group, a renowned risk advisory and investigations firm, has recently completed the acquisition of Greyhawk Intelligence Group, a corporate intelligence firm based in the UK. With a strong presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Greyhawk has achieved multiple Chambers rankings in the Litigation Support and Crisis & Risk Management categories.
According to Chris Weil, Co-CEO of Mintz Group, the acquisition of Greyhawk is a strategic move to expand the company’s reach in emerging markets. He stated, “Private equity firms, corporations, financial institutions, and law firms are increasingly seeking detailed intelligence on counterparties and dispute adversaries. This can only be achieved through in-country, on-the-ground personnel, contacts, and resources. Greyhawk’s capabilities, particularly in frontier markets, perfectly complement our own, and we are delighted to welcome their founders to our leadership team.”
Greyhawk has received high rankings from Chambers & Partners for its expertise in international asset tracing and investigative due diligence. The company was founded in 2012 by Steven Haynes, a former investigative journalist who has worked in top corporate intelligence firms, and Edward Palmer, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in handling complex disputes and transactions in EMEA and Asia. Palmer has also been recognized as Band 1 by Chambers for his proficiency in investigative due diligence. With over 25 years of investigations and intelligence experience, both Haynes and Palmer bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Mintz Group.
Speaking about the acquisition, Greyhawk Director and Co-Founder Steven Haynes said, “At Greyhawk, our core strength lies in providing our clients with the necessary information to make critical business decisions and succeed in complex cross-border disputes. Our operations are focused on regions where records are often undigitized, data is not standardized, and disclosure requirements are inadequate. This acquisition by Mintz Group, a company that shares our values and approach, is a natural fit for us.”
Mintz Group’s acquisition of Greyhawk comes on the heels of their partnership with Xapien, an AI-powered search platform specifically designed for multijurisdictional due diligence. These developments are in line with Mintz Group’s strategy of integrating cutting-edge technology solutions with the expertise of professional investigators and analysts with decades of experience.
