Services

    1. I will be a core member of your deal team for as long as the transaction needs, full-time, part-time or on call.

    2. I work from your office or remotely, or both.

    3. I work alongside your external lawyers and advisors. I sharpen their instructions, watch scope and cost, and test their advice before it reaches your board. Or I help you choose the right firm.

    4. I add senior capacity when your team is busiest, without adding headcount.

    1. Legal: structuring, sale and purchase and ancillary agreements, due diligence reports, board and shareholder resolutions, negotiation templates.

    2. Deal process: Support for preparation of information memoranda, management presentations, process letters

    3. Deal management: timetable and workstreams across legal, tax, finance, HR and environment, data room, regulatory approvals strategy - from inception to signing to completion to implementation.

    4. Advisers and decisions: instructing and budgeting external counsel, translating advice into decisions, sense-checking structures and negotiation strategy

    5. Sectors: include oil and gas, LNG, joint ventures, project developments and retail energy.

    1. Over 28 years in-house. I have been the client instructing the law firms, so I know what is worth paying for and what is not, and I bring legal judgement and commercial thinking in one person.

    2. You deal with me. The person in your first meeting does the work, start to finish.

    3. I work alongside your law firm, not instead of it.

  • Pricing is set to the shape of the engagement: this may include a day or hourly rate, or a fixed or capped fee for a defined deliverable.
