Project-Based Engagements

Focused mandates scoped to a single transaction, negotiation, or strategic objective, delivered against a defined outcome.

Overview

How It Works

Some objectives have a clear beginning and end: a market entry, a transaction, a negotiation, a project to reach financial close. For these we scope a defined engagement with clear deliverables and a clear horizon.

Project engagements concentrate the right people on a single outcome and end when it is achieved.

  • Market entry or expansion into a new country
  • Transactions and partnerships with a defined objective

What Is Included

  • A written scope, timeline and success criteria
  • A named lead and a team matched to the objective
  • Milestone reviews with the client
  • Relevant introductions, analysis and preparation
  • A closing review and handover of relationships and materials
