How the collaboration works

  1. 01

    Scope of the review

    We agree the scope and the list of documents required.

  2. 02

    Review of documentation

    We go through the materials and raise follow-up questions with the seller.

  3. 03

    Report of findings

    We prepare an overview of the findings and the level of risk.

  4. 04

    Reflection in the contract

    We propose how to address the findings in the transfer agreement.

01

Findings ranked by risk

You get the material issues first, not an undifferentiated list of every document.

02

Carried into the contract

Each significant finding is translated into a warranty, an indemnity or a price adjustment.

Preparing a transaction?

We will agree the scope of the review and prepare an overview of the risks before signing.
