Diana Steen, a co-founder of Pallas Consultants and the firm’s Co-Chair, has more than 25 years of extensive experience managing complex litigation support, due diligence, intellectual property (“IP”) damages quantification, compliance reviews, and asset tracing investigations both in the UK and internationally. Diana oversees the quality of the firm’s investigations globally and directs its work in the EMEA Region. Diana manages the firm’s international anti-corruption compliance relationships for
several multinational clients. She has conducted investigations and helped clients develop their compliance programs for key suppliers, distributors, and third-party representatives. Among other specific services, Diana helps strengthen clients’ review processes, customize questionnaires, or tailor reporting elements for employees and agents. Her casework includes investigating instances of fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and kickbacks related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-money-laundering regulations, and whistleblower allegations.
Diana also has extensive experience managing due diligence investigations. On behalf of firms interested in expanding into Asia or Europe or considering international acquisitions, she has led investigations to pinpoint potential risks—such as corruption and organized crime—by uncovering ownership interests and political and governmental affiliations. In hostile takeovers, proxy contests, and tender offers, Diana's knowledge and experience have contributed to successful outcomes.
