01
Match the deal to the counsel
We know which lawyers have closed that specific type of deal and bring them to handle your matter.
About
Finding the right lawyer for your deal.
Delphine Legal matches transactions with the right legal specialist and helps you run the legal work so you can stay focused on the business.
What We Do
Two things.
02
Manage the legal work
Scope, budget, workstreams, and deadlines run through one point of contact. We hold the specialists to the schedule and to the commercial objective, and you get decisions to make rather than a stack of memos to read.
How We Think About It
Assigning the right counsel is a business decision.
You choose investors who know your sector, understand and support the objective of the business.
Legal capital works the same way. The general counsel who drafts your bylaws does not specialize in cross-border carve-outs or regulatory advice on new requirements. Getting the right match changes the quality of the transaction for your business entirely.
We have the network and know who to call.
