Private Advisory. Depth

Direct, private,
named.

Senior counsel held by a single named principal at the firm.

The advisory engagement is the smallest unit of work the firm offers. One principal at the firm. One principal at the client. One channel. Senior counsel without intermediaries.

Private Advisory By Referral & Invitation Only

The Shape

One principal
to one principal.

Advisory engagements are held directly. The principal at the client speaks with a named principal at the firm. There is no account team. There is no coordinator. The relationship is a single line, not a hierarchy.

The Substance

Pre-decision.
Pre-press.

The firm is engaged before decisions are made and before statements are issued. The work is consultative, not corrective. The principal arrives at decisions with the doctrine already filtered through. The press cycle that follows is the result, not the work.

01

Pre-decision

Counsel held before a position is taken.

02

Pre-press

Counsel held before a statement is issued.

03

Pre-hire

Counsel held before a hire reframes the architecture.

04

Pre-event

Counsel held before an event the principal attends.

The Cadence

On call.
On retainer.

Advisory is on retainer, available on call. The principal at the firm is reachable within the channel the engagement defines, on the timeline the situation requires. Most engagements involve weekly contact. Some involve daily contact. None involve hours.

The retainer reflects the standard the firm holds. Not the volume of contact.

Confidential Inquiry

Engagements are by referral and invitation only.

If a trusted source has introduced you to the firm, or if you believe your situation warrants direct contact, a senior principal will reply within forty-eight hours.
