Due Diligence

Due diligence is the care a reasonable person should take before entering into an agreement or transaction with another party. It is a process of inquiry that seeks to confirm all material facts in order to reduce or eliminate risk. The concept of due diligence has its roots in English common law, where it was established as a legal duty owed by a person to exercise reasonable care and skill when entering into contracts.
