Deal Structuring & Execution
Price is only one part of a transaction. How consideration is paid, secured and adjusted often determines what each party actually receives. We design structures that hold up in negotiation and in practice.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Locked box or completion accounts?
A locked box gives price certainty at signing; completion accounts adjust the price to the balance sheet at closing. The choice depends on the reliability of the accounts and the balance of negotiating power.
What makes an earn-out work?
Clear metrics, a defined measurement period, agreed accounting policies and protections on how the business is run during that period.
Can you join a transaction already under way?
Yes. We regularly step in at term sheet or documentation stage to strengthen structure and execution.
