Collaboration
A mandate does not end at the proposal. Here is how we actually work once we are in the room — day to day, not just at the milestones.
Embedded Teams
A small, named team sits inside your organisation for the duration of the mandate, reporting to the principal directly rather than through a layer of account management.
Joint Working Groups
For multi-party mandates, we convene a standing working group across every side of the table, with a single shared record of decisions and next steps.
Secure Channels
Every mandate runs on a dedicated, encrypted channel — no shared drives, no email threads that outlive the people who need to see them.
Engagement Cadence
A standing weekly briefing, a same-day escalation line for anything time-critical, and a partner-level review at every material milestone.
What Stays Constant
- One senior partner is named and accountable for every mandate — never a rotating cast.
- Nothing material moves without the principal's sign-off; we advise, the client decides.
- Every working group and channel is wound down and archived the moment a mandate closes.
How a Collaboration Unfolds
1. Onboard
We agree scope, governance and confidentiality terms, and establish the secure channels the mandate will run on.
2. Mobilize
The named team is assembled, briefed and introduced to your principals and any other parties involved.
3. Operate
Weekly briefings, same-day escalation and milestone reviews keep everyone aligned and decisions moving.
4. Close
We deliver a closing review, hand over relationships and materials, and wind down every working channel.
Collaboration Questions
Do we need to share sensitive information?
Only what the mandate requires, and only through the secure channels we set up. Our team is bound by confidentiality, and nothing is shared beyond the working group without your consent.
Who makes the decisions?
You do. We advise and recommend, and nothing material moves without the principal’s sign-off.
Can you work alongside our existing advisors?
Yes. We regularly work with a client’s legal, financial and communications advisors, and are comfortable fitting into an established team.
What happens when the mandate ends?
Every working group and channel is closed and archived. Relationships we have built on your behalf are handed over to you.
