Neutrality Where Interests Meet.
Confidence Between Parties. Protection Around Assets.
Our approach is deliberately disciplined.
We seek to understand the underlying transaction, the parties involved, the assets concerned and the conditions governing their release or administration before accepting a mandate.
Control Before Release.
Under an escrow arrangement, funds or other agreed assets may be placed under independent administration until predetermined conditions have been satisfied.
The release mechanism is established before the transaction begins.
Depending upon the mandate, this may involve:
Confirmation of contractual conditions
Receipt of agreed documentation
Completion of defined transaction milestones
Authorised instructions from designated parties
Independent verification where required
Controlled release of funds or assets
TRANSACTION ESCROW
Supporting Significant Commercial Transactions.
Escrow can provide an additional layer of confidence where the completion of a transaction depends upon multiple obligations being performed correctly.
Potential applications may include:
Corporate Transactions
Supporting payments associated with selected acquisitions, disposals, restructurings or other commercial arrangements.
Commercial Contracts
Holding transaction funds pending satisfaction of specified contractual conditions.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Administering agreed funds associated with transaction completion, deferred consideration or other contractual obligations.
Project Transactions
Supporting defined payment milestones within appropriately structured commercial projects.
Contractual Settlements
Providing controlled administration where funds are to be released according to agreed settlement terms.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS
A Controlled Framework Across Borders.
Our approach to international escrow mandates begins with understanding the underlying commercial transaction and ensuring that the conditions governing administration are clearly defined.
