Why Delphine Legal

Structured at entry, tested at exit.

The governance, consent, and transfer terms negotiated on the way in decide how clean the exit is years later. We draft them against the exit rather than against the closing checklist, and we keep the same attorney on the relationship from acquisition through sale.
