Our method is built around four stages. None is decorative. Each is designed to ensure that, by the time a matter advances to execution, the file behind it can withstand the review of the most demanding licensed counterparty.
First contact is written and brief. We ask for the jurisdiction, the activity and the timeline. We do not ask for confidential information at this point — and we ask that you do not volunteer it. If the matter does not fit our perimeter, we say so within five business days, in writing, without further exchange.
If the matter is one we can consider, we run internal conflict screening against existing mandates. Once cleared, we execute a non-disclosure agreement and an initial engagement letter that defines scope, fee basis and the documentary work to be performed before any substantive exchange.
The substantive work is in the file. We build the corporate, beneficial-ownership, source-of-funds and operational documentation to the standard the eventual licensed reviewer will expect. We coordinate licensed counsel and external professionals where their participation is required at this stage.
Once the file is built, execution is performed by the licensed third parties whose authorisation covers the relevant activity — local counsel, notaries, regulated intermediaries, licensed advisers. We coordinate the sequence; we do not perform the regulated steps ourselves.
The first ninety days of any engagement determine whether the matter is one we will continue to coordinate. We decline mandates that we believe cannot be defended on documentary grounds, regardless of the commercial appeal. First contact is direct, written and handled under internal reserve. A non-disclosure agreement is executed before any substantive exchange where the matter advances.
