To make a smart deal, your deal strategy has to be flexible enough to adjust for the unexpected, aggressive enough to win highly competitive business terms, and broad enough to envision the challenges that will confront you from the moment the contract is signed. As you move down the path toward reaching agreement on your deal, you'll also need access to the right information at the right time. Tax issues, legal risks, conflicts of interest and market fluctuations all need to be taken into account with each decision you make.
But in a business environment where information can easily overwhelm and confuse, which advisor can help you fashion a deal that works? To start, look for someone with sufficient experience and judgement. Plenty of patience and stamina is also recommended - as is the capability to add value across the entire deal-making continuum, from strategy through post-deal integration.
