Who We Serve

North Point works for four kinds of clients. Whichever you are, the job is the same: find the facts, and help you act on them.

For investors

Diligence and investigations across the life of an investment — before you commit capital and after.

• Pre-M&A and pre-transaction due diligence — vetting a target company, its leadership, and its claims before you invest or acquire.
• Voice of the customer — independent conversations with a target's customers to test whether the business is as healthy as the deal materials suggest.
• Forensic referencing (backchannel) — discreet, off-list reference checks on founders and executives that go well beyond the references they hand you.
• Portfolio company investigations — when fraud, misconduct, or a whistleblower complaint surfaces at a Portco, we investigate on your behalf.
• Post-employment investigations — non-compete violations and theft of trade secrets when key people leave.
  

For Employers

Independent investigations across the full employee lifecycle, working directly with your team.

• Pre-hire due diligence — background and reputational checks on senior candidates before you extend an offer.
• Internal investigations — fraud, misconduct, harassment, and whistleblower complaints inside your organization, handled discreetly and defensibly.
• Post-employment investigations — non-compete violations and theft of trade secrets when employees depart.
• A partner to HR and the GC — we can work directly under your HR or legal team, or run a matter independently — whatever fits the situation.
  

For Attorneys

Investigative capacity and credentials that extend your team.

• Digital forensics — collecting, preserving, and analyzing electronic evidence under sound chain-of-custody protocols.
• eDiscovery support — added manpower and tooling for document review and production when a matter outgrows your team's capacity.
• Asset tracing — locating assets to help you enforce a judgment.
• Testifying experts — we perform the work and can testify to a sound, defensible methodology if a matter reaches court.
• Licensed private investigators — all work conducted under our PI license, to professional investigative standards.
  

For political campaigns

Know what's in your own record before your opponent does.

• Candidate self-vetting — a rigorous, independent review of your own candidate's background, finances, and public record, surfacing the vulnerabilities an opposition researcher would find so you can prepare for them rather than be surprised.
• Senior staff and surrogate vetting — the same scrutiny applied to the people who speak and act on the campaign's behalf.
• Confidential and defensible — we document our work to professional investigative standards and report only to you, so the findings stay in your hands.
