A few useful answers

Are introductions guaranteed?

No. Introductions depend on the mandate, mutual fit and consent to share information. They do not commit either party to a transaction.

Does this cover legal, immigration or tax advice?

Those matters require qualified providers. Commercial and operating work can be coordinated with them, with responsibilities agreed in the mandate.

Can cross-border and relocation support be included?

Yes. A mandate can also cover corporate or personal relocation, regional opportunities and team-location choices, coordinated with qualified legal, immigration and tax specialists where required.
