Webinar: Phased Due Diligence: Ways to Protect Your Deal
February 02, 2026
by a professional from James Madison University in Washington, DC, USA
Due diligence doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing process. Running diligence in clearly defined phases helps buyers manage risk, control costs, and maintain leverage throughout a transaction — especially in competitive deal environments.
This session outlines a phased due diligence framework designed to help buyers identify red flags early, validate key assumptions before over-investing, and protect deal momentum from LOI through closing.
