Questions
Before you ask.
Do I need to name the parties?
General descriptions are enough to scope the report. Confidential terms stay with you until counsel is engaged.
When should we ask for it?
At the start of the deal, before heavy spending on diligence, and again when a signing date is set.
Who acts on the filings?
Appointed partners on each side, introduced on request, at fees agreed with them.
