Pros
1) Well tuned commercial sensitivities: Advice that considered commercial outcomes which enabled us to maximise the upside, whilst minimising the potential downside, of the deal. In my experience, it's rare to work with lawyers etc who are able to put themselves in the business owners shoes. 2) Proactive communication - i.e. reminders about when working capital reconciliation was due 3) Above & beyond - responded to emails late at night or was involved in discussions with the buyer after hours, when required.

Pros
Accessible during a very tight time line, and worked well with our own in-house lawyers to allow us to reduce overall external spend. Excellent ancillary advice on related topics as well, with an open door. Equalled the other party's top-tier firm's expert team.
Areas for Improvement
Increased size would have its benefits, although I prefer the boutique service and fees at the present size.
