The situation

We advise on the decisions that change what an investor owns and how it is governed

A new board seat, a follow-on round, a change of management, a partial exit. We advise funds, boards and investment committees on each of them with a private capital perspective: what protects value, what creates it, and what the structure will look like in three years’ time.

The work

We look at governance, value protection and ownership as one question

  • Governance: board composition, information rights, decision rights and reporting to the investor.
  • Value protection: the terms, controls and early warnings that keep a position sound.
  • Ownership transitions: entries, follow-ons, secondary sales and exits, prepared well before the event.
  • Alignment between the fund, the board and the leadership team.

The result

Advice that the investment committee can adopt as written

Our output is investment-committee grade: a clear recommendation, the reasoning behind it and the risks that remain, in a form that can be tabled as it is.
