Investment Advisory Agreement

An Investment Advisory Agreement outlines the relationship between an advisor and client, specifying fiduciary duties and compensation. This playbook emphasizes regulatory compliance, performance reporting, and termination triggers.

Security & Collateral

Why This Matters: Improperly documented or imperfect security interests risk subordination or invalidation, undermining recovery in default. Robust collateral arrangements preserve debt value and priority.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all security interests are properly documented and perfected. Require UCC filings and necessary consents to maintain priority.

If you're the Contractor:

Negotiate for clear terms on the release of collateral upon repayment. Ensure compliance with jurisdiction-specific requirements.
