What Mintz Group does

Mintz Group is a global corporate intelligence and risk advisory firm headquartered in New York that provides investigative due diligence, background screening, asset tracing, and litigation support to enterprise clients across 14 industry verticals. The firm operates 12 offices spanning 8 time zones and 30+ languages, deploying 300+ investigators and researchers to conduct enhanced investigations in 140 countries, and reports completing over 10,000 enhanced investigations annually. Services are organized into six core offerings: Employee & Candidate Screening, Executive & Leadership Risk Intelligence, Corporate/Management & Market Risk, Third-Party & Partner Risk, Regulatory & Compliance Risk, and Disputes & Enforcement. Clientele spans multinational corporations, financial institutions including PE/VC firms, law firms, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, government entities, and major industry verticals including energy, healthcare, technology, sports/media/entertainment, and aerospace/defense.

The company's technology stack centers on two proprietary platforms. Verity is an AI-powered intelligence platform that uses generative AI to review and prepare preliminary summaries of publicly accessible press, social media, and biographical content, accelerating investigative workflows. MintzOne is a secure client portal enabling clients to order, track, and receive results from employee and candidate screening programs across multiple jurisdictions. The firm also deploys third-party identity verification software using facial recognition for biometric checks. Critically, all AI-generated outputs are reviewed by human investigators before client delivery, positioning AI as a productivity layer rather than a replacement for analyst judgment. Mintz Group holds Chambers & Partners rankings across Litigation Support and Crisis & Risk Management categories, with Band 1 recognition for Edward Palmer in Investigative Due Diligence and Who's Who Legal / Lexology recognition in Asset Recovery.

Mintz Group operates a B2B professional services model with quote-based, bespoke engagements and no public pricing. Go-to-market runs through direct enterprise sales, a 'Talk to an Expert' consultation portal, and professional network referrals including law firms and financial advisors. The firm has executed multiple acquisitions to add capabilities, most recently purchasing Greyhawk Intelligence Group in 2025 (which brought in Chambers-ranked partners Edward Palmer and Steven Haynes along with their teams), and the Bishop Group in 2021 (which established the IP investigation practice). The firm is privately held with prior investment from WestView Capital Partners (April 2021) and ICV Partners (April 2020), operates as Mintz Group, LLC in Delaware, and is led by Co-CEO Peter Lagomarsino alongside a partnership governance structure.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• FTI Consulting: FTI Consulting's Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment includes an investigations and asset tracing practice serving corporations, law firms, and governments. It is a broader professional services incumbent with overlapping rather than specialized focus versus Mintz.
• Berkeley Research Group (BRG): BRG's Disputes & Investigations practice provides forensic accounting, asset tracing, and expert witness services to law firms and corporates — overlapping with Mintz's Disputes & Enforcement offering, though BRG is a broader management consulting firm.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Alvarez & Marsal's Disputes and Investigations practice delivers forensic, asset tracing, and expert services globally. It competes with Mintz on disputes and forensic investigations, though as part of a much larger restructuring and consulting platform.

Direct peers

• Hakluyt & Company: Hakluyt is a strategic intelligence firm providing corporate intelligence and due diligence to a small set of large multinational clients. It competes with Mintz at the high end of executive vetting and corporate risk work, though with a narrower service menu.
• Pinkerton: Pinkerton is a global investigative and security services firm offering corporate investigations, background screening, and due diligence. It is a direct peer to Mintz on screening and investigative work, with greater emphasis on physical security services.
• Nardello & Co. Nardello & Co. is a global investigations firm specializing in due diligence, asset tracing, and litigation support for law firms, corporations, and high-net-worth individuals — a focused boutique comparable in service mix to Mintz, though smaller in scale.
• Kroll: Kroll (formerly Duff & Phelps) is one of the largest global corporate intelligence and investigations firms, offering due diligence, disputes, cyber, and risk advisory services to enterprises, law firms, and financial institutions — directly comparable to Mintz's core offerings and global delivery model.
• ICG (International Consulting Group): ICG is a corporate intelligence and due diligence firm serving global clients on third-party risk, executive vetting, and investigations. It competes directly with Mintz on enhanced due diligence, though with a smaller geographic footprint.
• Control Risks: Control Risks is a global specialist risk consultancy delivering political, security, integrity, and investigative due diligence services to multinational corporates and financial institutions — closely aligned with Mintz's cross-border investigations and corporate risk practices.

Emerging players

• Eckler Group / HireRight-adjacent screening providers: HireRight and similar employment screening platforms overlap with Mintz's MintzOne and employee/candidate screening offering. They are technology-led, high-volume screening providers that compete on price and automation rather than bespoke investigations.
