Retained Advisory: Confidential Principal Counsel
Ongoing, principal-level counsel for leaders navigating complex strategic environments. A trusted, confidential partner for your most critical challenges.
Independent Leadership Support
Leadership is often a solitary role. A Retained Advisory relationship provides a confidential, independent sounding board for senior executives and board members. It is a long-term partnership designed to provide continuous strategic insight, objective challenge, and decision-making support outside the constraints of a formal project.
The Structure of Counsel
Our retained relationships are structured for flexibility and access, and include two key tiers (Strategic Counsel and Embedded Advisor) to match the client's needs. Typical inclusions are:
- Scheduled Strategic Dialogue: Regular monthly or quarterly sessions to discuss emerging risks and strategic execution.
- On-Demand Counsel: Access to our principal for ad-hoc advice and perspective on time-sensitive issues as they arise.
- Continuous Risk Monitoring: A proactive "over-the-horizon" analysis of emerging market, geopolitical, and competitive risks.
- Document Review: Independent review of critical internal documents (e.g., board papers, investment proposals) prior to key decision points.
