Direct access when it matters most
When a deal turns critical, you don't wait for callbacks. Retainer partners reach Scott or his senior team within 24-48 hours. No gatekeeping. Just the composure and strategy you need in the moment to prevent deal collapse.
Scope of engagement
Confidential c-suite advisory
Private, 1:1 sounding board sessions for the CEO and Managing Partners. Decode pressure patterns, rehearse critical conversations, and master influence without authority behind closed doors.
Shadow negotiation
We review email drafts, strict deal terms, and counterparty profiles in real-time. We guide your next move before you enter the room.
The war room
Rapid de-escalation calls for your wider deal team (up to 20 key personnel) when transactions stall or conflict erupts.
Capped at 10 partners
We are not for everybody. To maintain the integrity of our counsel and response times for our closest partners, we strictly limit our retainer engagements to a maximum of 10 concurrent firms.
