As the market leader in ethics and compliance, Steele is core to Diligent’s strategy to leverage our strength in governance to expand our footprint in GRC and stakeholder capitalism. Together, we will offer leaders a more comprehensive C-suite and executive view of ESG risks, alongside the modern governance practices they have already implemented.”
Eric Lochner, CEO of Steele, commented: “We are passionate about delivering innovative compliance solutions to our clients. Our best-of-breed products have revolutionized how organizations big and small manage risk, giving leaders a truly integrated, holistic view of their compliance program.

The Steele acquisition is expected to close in early March. District Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP served as the legal advisor to Diligent. For Steele, UBS served as the financial advisor, and Goodwin Procter LLP served as the legal advisor. Bregal Sagemount acquired Steele Compliance Solutions in 2016.
