The challenge
A nationally recognized executive search firm was presented with a valuable acquisition opportunity. Historically represented by large New York City law firms, they sought counsel, and received sky-high fee quotes and a six-month closing timeline.
“We were told the deal couldn’t be done before Q3, six months out, and the price tag was jaw-dropping.”
Time was of the essence. The client needed a fast, strategic legal partner without sacrificing quality.
Our approach
Pact handled the deal from structuring through close, pairing the transactional work with business judgment.
- Deal structuring optimized for favorable tax outcomes
- Full scope of negotiation and due diligence
- Executive employment agreements, non-competes, and restrictive covenants
We managed the entire process from structuring to close, ensuring terms aligned with both business goals and legal best practices.
The outcome
Pact closed the deal months ahead of the six-month timeline the client had been quoted.
“Pact did what the big firms said couldn’t be done. Fast, thoughtful, and exactly what we needed.”
