We help intermediaries, agents and deal facilitators structure their engagements and protect their entitlement to commissions, success fees and other agreed consideration.
A successful introduction or facilitation can create substantial value, but intermediaries often face uncertainty over whether they will ultimately receive the compensation agreed for their role. We assist agents, brokers, consultants, introducers and deal facilitators in documenting and protecting their commercial interests. Our services include:
- Agency agreements;
- Introducer and referral agreements;
- Brokerage and commission agreements;
- Success-fee arrangements;
- Finder’s fee agreements;
- Non-circumvention arrangements;
- Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements;
- Commission protection clauses;
- Escrow or controlled-payment arrangements where appropriate;
- Documentation of introductions and deal origination;
- Negotiation between principals and intermediaries; and
- Enforcement of contractual entitlements.
Where appropriate, the firm’s role may include providing a structured mechanism through which an agreed commission or success fee is secured and subsequently released upon satisfaction of the agreed contractual conditions and applicable legal requirements. The objective is simple: to ensure that the person who creates or facilitates the opportunity has a clearly documented and enforceable entitlement to their agreed share.
