Deal Support

Once the decision is made, the work shifts to coordination, context and keeping the logic of the project intact.

Complex deals can easily get lost in the details. My role is to keep the full picture in view, understand how each new decision affects the project as a whole, and keep the work moving in one clear direction.

What I take on

• negotiations and agreeing the key terms;
• coordinating everyone involved in the deal;
• keeping documents, deadlines and commitments under control;
• communication between the parties;
• tracking any change that could shift the structure, the economics or the risk profile;
• seeing the signing and the actual closing through.

Where the task goes beyond signing, support can extend to handover of the asset, the transition period, or specific questions around launching the project after the deal.

Specialist expertise

At different stages of a deal, specialist expertise is inevitably required. I work with some of the strongest professionals whose expertise has already been tested across real projects and transactions.

One advisor on the project

A deal can involve many participants, but the client should have one person who understands what is happening at every key point of the project and how those points connect.

If the investment idea is still being weighed up, start with a pre-investment assessment. If the specific deal has not been checked yet, it makes sense to run a deal audit first.
