General Mandate ThresholdUSD $25M+

ECM USA generally considers mandates valued at USD $25 million or more, or the equivalent in another major currency. The threshold supports the firm's documentation standards, professional coordination requirements, strategic review discipline and mandate-level resource commitment.

Matters below the general threshold may be considered where ECM USA determines that the matter is strategically significant or otherwise suitable for review.

Misrepresented Matters

03

Restricted Matters

Matters involving sanctioned parties, restricted jurisdictions, prohibited counterparties, unclear funds or material compliance concerns.

04

Retail or Low-Value Inquiries

General retail consulting, informal funding requests, unsupported introductions or matters inconsistent with the firm's mandate posture.

Regulated-Service Requests

Requests for ECM USA to act as a bank, broker-dealer, investment adviser, custodian, money transmitter, escrow agent or fiduciary.

Ready to determine whether
your matter is suitable for review?

Qualified prospective clients with serious commercial, financial, project or cross-border mandates may submit a preliminary request for ECM USA to determine suitability for Institutional Review and possible engagement.

Submission does not create a client relationship or obligate ECM USA to conduct a review. All matters remain subject to suitability, qualification, acceptance, definitive documentation and applicable fees.
