What this service includes
Before a proposed transaction, we organise a review of the relevant company records, contracts and identified liabilities. We report the issues that require further checks, clarification or allocation in the transaction documents, so you can discuss them before proceeding.
Preparing for a discussion
Share a short outline of your objective, the parties involved and any deadline. After conflict checks, we will confirm which documents are needed and how to share them securely.
How we work with you
- 01
Share a brief description of the business, the parties involved and your commercial objective. After initial checks, we may ask for company records, draft contracts or the documents for the proposed transaction.
- 02
We review your initial request, complete conflict checks and confirm whether the matter is suitable for our team. Before substantive work begins, we agree the scope, fees, responsibilities and a method for sharing documents.
- 03
We begin with your business objectives and the proposed arrangement. We review the relevant company records or draft agreements, explain the key issues in plain language and agree the documents, negotiations or follow-up work within scope.
- 04
We provide the advice or documents agreed in the engagement, explain the key points and discuss any remaining questions. Where the matter continues, we agree the next actions and how you will receive updates.
