Choosing the professional team is one of the most consequential decisions in a listing, and one that first-time issuers are least equipped to make.
We help the company identify suitable firms, run a structured selection process, compare proposals on scope and cost rather than headline fees, and negotiate engagement terms. Once appointed, we act as the single point of coordination between them.
That coordination matters more than it sounds. Most delays in a listing are not caused by any one firm doing its work slowly — they are caused by one workstream waiting on another with nobody holding the sequence.
What we deliver
- Candidate firms identified and shortlisted for each role
- Structured selection process and comparison of proposals
- Support negotiating scope and engagement terms
- Single point of coordination across the professional team
- Dependency tracking and escalation to the board where needed
