Discipline 07 — Coordination

Escrow & Third-Party Coordination

We coordinate with licensed escrow agents — we do not substitute for them. Procedural independence at the heart of deal closings.

Escrow arrangements, where they are appropriate to a transaction, belong with licensed escrow agents. Our role is to coordinate the workflow around those arrangements — instructions, verifications, releases, and documentation.

For private deal closings, cross-border settlements, and complex multi-party transactions, the handoff between parties, counsel, escrow, and payment rails is where delays and errors occur. We sit in that coordination layer and make it run cleanly.

Where a transaction does not require formal escrow, we can structure equivalent procedural controls through our paymaster service — but we will tell you clearly which structure suits your transaction and why.

What this covers

Scope of engagement.

  1. 01

    Coordination with licensed escrow agents

    We work with your chosen escrow counterparty, or suggest qualified candidates, and manage the interface between your transaction and the escrow arrangement.

  2. 02

    Instruction management

    Capture, verify, and route instructions from authorized parties — with documented acknowledgment at each stage.

  3. 03

    Fund release workflows

    Coordination of release against conditions precedent, document delivery, or counsel confirmation — mapped to deal timelines.

  4. 04

    Transaction documentation alignment

    Cross-checking payment instructions against closing documents, flow-of-funds memoranda, and counsel-drafted release mechanics.

  5. 05

    Closing support

    Day-of-closing coordination with all parties — counsel, escrow, banks, and counterparties — to sequence releases and confirmations.

  6. 06

    Independent payment verification

    Where clients want a procedurally independent check on payment execution, we provide that verification layer.

Positioning

The coordination layer between transactions, escrow, and payment execution — procedural, independent, and documented.
