SWOLV operates with a strict Chinese Wall policy, ensuring it never serves both the buyer and seller in the same transaction to maintain confidentiality and avoid conflicts of interest. The company guarantees its work by offering to relaunch an investigation at no cost if the initial engagement does not uncover material findings that impact deal terms or the investment decision.
