The board
Bankers, regulators and operators — around one table.
The firm is led by four directors whose careers run through central and commercial banking, insurance regulation, industrial conglomerates and aviation. That combination is the reason a credit committee, a regulator and a family board can all be spoken to in their own language.

Governance
How the firm is run.
Each mandate is assigned a director accountable for the outcome, supported by the practice lead who does the work. Recommendations are reviewed by at least two directors before they leave the firm — the same discipline we ask our clients to adopt.
