Derek’s advice

“Good communication really helps your lawyer focus on what’s important. It’s much easier to manage the deal efficiently and cost-effectively with complete information and a clear picture of the real deadlines. Think about process early on in the deal. Put your lawyer in touch with your corporate administration provider and your aircraft manager early on, they can get those aspects lined up in good time and take a lot of the admin burden off you. It can hold up closing if these aspects only receive attention after negotiation of the main documents.”
