As clients are ever expanding and venturing into new or changing corporate landscapes, whether through partnerships, acquisition deals or by growing their own client base, Pelican offers invaluable knowledge to help them make informed decisions and help to avoid potential regulatory or reputational issues.
Through due diligence, intelligence gathering and country risk analysis, Pelican helps its clients understand the complexities they are faced with, whatever corporate landscape they are working in.
Pelican specialises in information retrieval, intelligence gathering and analysis. The services and areas we cover include due diligence, asset tracing, litigation support, computer forensics/cyber security, political risk/country profiling and the assessment and implementation of bespoke security requirements.
Our clients range from multinational corporations to individual investors, from law firms to family offices.
The complex and ever-changing nature of international business regulations and the uncertainties of today's corporate climate have highlighted the importance of having an in-depth understanding of the field in which one is active.
The team at Pelican aims to provide greater clarity and help you build the body of information you require to make informed decisions on both professional and personal matters.
At Pelican, we take great pride in the extensive global network of contacts we have established over many years in a broad range of industrial sectors, enabling us to solve the problems and answer the questions our clients put before us. This information and intelligence gathering is underpinned by our use of public records, obtained from a multitude of registries and databases worldwide.
All information is sourced ethically and is legally admissible, while adhering to all relevant regulations.
Led by Managing Director and Founder Nicholas Whetherly, the team at Pelican specialises in offering bespoke solutions to our clients’ problems, whatever they may be. The team has previously worked across a number of industries, including financial PR, market research, and communications, and has held roles with FTSE 100 companies, investment managers, legal publishers, and boutique consultancies; this experience helps us understand our clients’ perspectives.
Our previous work across multiple complex and obscure jurisdictions provides the foundations for our extensive global network. In addition, we speak six languages in-house and comprehend several more.
"Pelican Lite" is a high-level report designed to help those who need relevant, filtered and timely information. It provides clients with greater insight before a meeting, instant preparation for an interview, or just deeper understanding of a specific issue.
For a fixed fee, Pelican takes away the hassle and inconvenience of having to sift through reams of information by using our refined research skills and experience to produce a high-level briefing note on an expedited timeline.
Over the years, Pelican has provided due diligence reports for clients in a number of situations, which range from pre-deal counterparty due diligence to verifying key information provided in relation to senior hires.
These reports are based on extensive research of public records, and are in most cases complemented by focused human intelligence enquiries, which allow the client to build a full picture of the subject they are investigating. No two requests are ever the same and each and every brief is tailored to the client’s needs.
Although the public records research is essential for an entity that is, for example, looking to enter into a new business relationship, answers to specific questions are not always found in publicly available documentation.
As a result, Pelican is often asked to undertake intelligence gathering, of which source enquiries are a fundamental part. These enquiries can often complement the public records research, but may also reveal information that would not have been discovered by any other means.
Pelican has built up a considerable network of contacts across a number of industries and jurisdictions, allowing us to take a bespoke approach to each case. We are also mindful of the legal parameters of gathering information and ensure that our information is correctly and ethically sourced.
Pelican assists clients who might be considering, or who are involved in, litigation. Our litigation support services include providing key information that can be used as leverage in on-going negotiations, tracing assets located around the world, unpicking complex off-shore structures and, in some cases, tracking down individuals.
The information is gathered in an ethical manner and we will, where possible, provide supporting documentation that can be used as admissible evidence in a court of law.
The team at Pelican has carried out numerous asset traces across multiple jurisdictions over the years. We understand the type of information available in each jurisdiction and know the most efficient ways of gathering and analysing it.
Understanding and identifying the asset base of an individual or a company can be integral not only to a client involved in litigation or some other form of dispute, but also to one that has been awarded a judgement in their favour and is looking to enforce it.
Pelican can provide this information not only in a written report, but also mapped out in an illustrated chart, showing the links between the subject, their corporate interests and any assets held through these entities.
In addition to the more structured offerings described above, Pelican provides bespoke assistance and problem solving services to HNWI and family offices around the world.
This is an increasingly large part of what Pelican does. Bespoke projects in these cases include, but are not limited to, computer forensics, security reviews, and use of social media, but we are happy to assist our clients with all manner of requests. No request is too small or obscure for us to consider.
Pelican can provide country profiles and thought pieces on the political climate in a number of territories worldwide. The Pelican team is fluent in six languages and proficient in several more, and has amassed a breadth of overseas experience.
Therefore, we are able to offer custom-made reports to our clients, helping them understand new markets and analyse the impact of political and economic change on a target jurisdiction.
Additionally, Pelican’s source network can provide detailed insight into what is happening in real time on the ground, adding depth to more widely reported news stories.
In a digital age, cyber security is a growing concern for many businesses and individuals. Pelican can help you analyse your computer systems and identify any potential weak spots.
