Our Company History
The business developed a core group of law firms and corporate clients who sought to construct a reliable conduit of information for their casework of due diligence investigations- this occurring during the merger and acquisition mania of the late 1980s.
After the dust had cleared from the corporate consolidations of the late 1980s, HI&R's practice was inundated with casework from the financial disaster of the savings and loan situation of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Financial institutions, led by their management and questionable ownership structures, were caught arranging loans to personal and business intimates. These "sweet-heart" deals were similar in one primary regard: the parties never anticipated having to pay the money back, with government guarantees in place.
These two major events in the financial history of the country were responsible for providing our office with a substantial portion of our casework in its business’ formative years.
Today, our office involves itself with numerous clients seeking an assortment of information based services. Our efforts are instrumental in complementing law firm support staffs, businesses at the crossroads of decision-making, dealmakers pursuing tactical advantage, and creditors seeking monetary recovery. When information is a scarce commodity, our office can become a valuable asset in correcting that shortfall.
