One owner's question, four practices

An owner arrives with the question «sell or hold». The answer spans several disciplines at once.

How one follows from another

The real sequence of questions on a transaction in the RUB 300m – 5bn range. Each one arises from the answer to the last — and usually takes the owner by surprise.

1

What is it worth and who will buy it

Valuation, the real buyer universe, deal form. → M&A practice
2

What exactly is being sold

Equipment in one entity, land held personally, buildings under the wrong permitted use. The perimeter is assembled before any approach to buyers. → Real estate and structuring
3

Where the buyer's money comes from

In the mid-market a deal fails on buyer financing more often than on price. → Capital practice
4

What remains after tax

The tax map is prepared before signing. Once the money has moved, the choice of structure is spent. → Structuring
5

What to do with the money and where to live

Residency, capital allocation, infrastructure abroad. → Private clients

Separate contractors at each step produce five unaligned answers. On a billion-rouble transaction that misalignment is measured in tens of millions, and it surfaces at the stage where the choice has already been made.

The practices

Mergers & Acquisitions

Sell-side and buy-side mandates, valuation and fairness opinions, due diligence, deal packaging, support through closing and integration.

Real Estate & Development

Commercial and hotel assets, management, development projects, property inside the perimeter of an operating business.

Capital & Structuring

Deal finance, ownership and settlement structure, jurisdictions, tax map, bank and project financing.

Private Clients

Tax on exit, residency, capital allocation, banking infrastructure abroad through licensed partners.

How work begins

STEP 1

Conversation

Thirty minutes. You leave it knowing whether this is our mandate. We state the boundaries at the outset.

STEP 2

Compliance

Screening of the parties precedes the mandate. It protects you as well: a deal that collapses on the buyer's or the bank's compliance costs more than a decline at the door.

STEP 3

Mandate

Scope, timetable, fee and the basis on which it is calculated — in writing and before work starts.
