The evidence
What this is built on
The firm does not ask to be taken at its word. 31 accounts of the work, and the 230 published clippings written at the time, are open to read.
We can’t predict the future. We can predict the room.
Public, private, nonprofit or philanthropic, we know the questions that room will ask and where a deal is likely to break. We spent our years doing the work, not writing about it, so our advice carries lived experience, practical knowledge and academic preparation.
