How we are engaged.
- Mandate
- Every engagement begins with a written mandate. It sets out the objective, the scope of our role and how we are paid.
- Fees
- Engagements are retained, success-based or a combination of the two. The structure depends on the transaction and is agreed at the outset.
- Confidentiality
- We do not disclose names or information to a counterparty without your consent. Where appropriate, we sign non-disclosure agreements before any detail is shared.
- Our role
- We originate and introduce. You keep your own legal, tax and financial advisers, and we work alongside them through to completion.
