How we work

A documented process from first contact to final report

Banks, auditors and counterparties should be able to reconstruct any mandate from the file. Our process is designed for exactly that.

Mandate lifecycle

Six stages

Stage 01
Mandate Intake
Written enquiry, scoping call and a documented description of the intended transaction or advisory need. No work begins on a verbal basis.
Stage 02
Client Identification (KYC)
Identification of the client entity, its representatives and its ultimate beneficial owners, supported by registry extracts and identification documents.
Stage 03
Counterparty & Sanctions Screening
Screening of all parties against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media sources; assessment of goods, destinations and end-use restrictions.
Stage 04
Engagement Agreement
Written mandate agreement setting out scope, deliverables, remuneration, liability, confidentiality and governing law.
Stage 05
Structuring & Execution
Transaction structuring, contract coordination, supplier and partner management, and supervision of delivery and settlement.
Stage 06
Reporting & Record Keeping
Milestone reporting to the client and retention of the complete mandate file, including due-diligence records, for at least five years.
