Collaborations

Stronger together, independent always.

BDI works with alliance firms in advisory, valuation and cybersecurity, its own technology and learning arms, a Senior Advisor panel and the counsel, agencies and platforms that enforcement depends on. Our independence from management is never part of the arrangement.

Alliance firms

Firms we collaborate with.

Where a mandate needs a capability alongside ours, such as valuation, statutory advisory or cybersecurity response, we bring in a firm we already know.
