Helping Real Estate & Construction Leaders Navigate Risk, Protect Projects, and Make Informed Decisions
Real estate and construction projects often move through opaque ecosystems of developers, contractors, subcontractors, financiers, and public authorities. From procurement integrity and undisclosed ownership to sanctions exposure in materials sourcing and political influence in permitting, risks are often hidden—but the downside is real: delays, penalties, and litigation.
Mintz Group supports developers, owners, REITs, construction firms, infrastructure investors, and their legal counsel with investigative intelligence at critical moments. Whether evaluating a counterparty, preparing for a major award, or responding to a dispute, we deliver discreet, defensible, decision-ready insights across jurisdictions.
Our work helps clients vet contractors and partners, investigate alleged misconduct, trace assets and payment flows, and anticipate reputational threats before they escalate. We also help teams manage cross-border risks in new or unfamiliar markets and navigate complex stakeholder environments—so leaders can move forward with confidence.
What We Help Clients Solve

We investigate developers, general contractors, subcontractors, owners, and joint venture partners to uncover hidden ownership, political exposure, sanctions risk, and reputational vulnerabilities that derail projects.
Procurement & Bid Integrity Reviews
We assess bidding processes, consortium structures, and change-order practices, digging deep into possible collusion, bribery, and favoritism to protect awards and funding.
Permitting, Zoning & Community Risk
We map stakeholders and influence networks, pressure-test narratives, and conduct discreet source inquiries to validate claims and timelines around approvals.
Supply Chain & Subcontractor Risk
We trace complex subcontracting chains and logistics, identifying labor, compliance, and corruption risks that affect schedules, budgets, and reputations.
Disputes, Asset Tracing & Enforcement
We locate misappropriated assets and diverted payments, analyze ownership structures, support enforcement, and help clients gain leverage in negotiations.
Executive & Board Vetting
We conduct deep background investigations on senior executives and board candidates of REITs, developers, contractors, and project sponsors to protect governance and reputation.
