Three mandate types, one posture: the seller's interest, represented without a second client — priced by tension, not by the first offer.
Full representation of founders, families and boards selling a company — from the first quiet conversation to the entry in the book. We design the process, control the room and hold the guidance.
Growth capital, recapitalisations and structured minority sales for owners not ready to sell everything — priced against the whole market, not one fund's term sheet.
Independent opinions for boards, special committees and disputes — written to be read aloud in the room where the decision is challenged.
The process is deliberately dull — every surprise we remove from the timeline comes back as price.
Preparation
A diligence-grade data room and a codename before anyone is called.
Positioning
The equity story written book-first: what the entry will one day say.
Access
Forty calls, made by partners, to principals — never to gatekeepers.
Tension
Parallel bidders, sealed rounds, guidance set once and held.
Close
Papers, price and the entry — announced only with consent.
We decline more mandates than we accept — mostly on fit, sometimes on conflict, occasionally on timing.
We write the entry on day one — then run the process that earns the right to publish it.
