Global Vetting of Suppliers, Customers, and JV Partners to Protect Operations and Supply Chains
Clarity in a Complex World
Third-party relationships are essential—but they also introduce risk. Vendors, distributors, and joint venture partners can expose organizations to sanctions, export control violations, labor issues, fraud, and reputational harm. In today’s regulatory environment, companies need more than checkbox compliance—they need investigative depth and global consistency.
Mintz Group helps clients vet suppliers, customers, and strategic partners across jurisdictions. We combine advanced screening tools with on-the-ground research to uncover hidden exposure, validate integrity, and protect operations and supply chains.
“We rely on Mintz’s global team to conduct diligence and compliance checks across our supply chain partners—helping us identify risks early and maintain regulatory confidence worldwide.”
