Our Approach to Business Transactions
When approaching a business transaction, our first priority is developing a strategy that meets our clients' objectives in the swiftest and most effective way possible.
With each transaction we then map out the projected activity for the transaction, budget each of the necessary tasks, and work with our client to develop a coherent approach consistent with the client's economic needs, business objectives, risk profile and schedule for closing. We will establish a mutually agreed-upon budget that is consistent with this approach and stay within this budget. When it is appropriate, we can even agree to a fee cap in an arrangement wherein our firm shares a risk in working on the transaction.
