ENNGAGEMENTS STRUCTURE
Engagement & Fee Structure
Every engagement at Mondlicht LLC is structured individually based on transaction complexity, stakeholder dynamics, scope of work, and the level of senior advisory involvement required.
Our fee philosophy is built around alignment of interests, execution discipline, and measurable financial outcomes.
ENGAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Senior-Led, Selective Advisory
Mondlicht operates on a highly selective mandate model rather than a volume-based advisory platform.
We intentionally limit concurrent engagements to ensure direct senior involvement, discretion, responsiveness, and focused execution throughout each mandate.
SELECTIVE ENGAGEMENTS
SENIOR-LED
BORROWER-SIDE ONLY
DISCREET ADVISORY
FEE STRUCTURE OVERVIEW
Advisory Fee Components
Depending on the nature and complexity of the mandate, engagements may include one or more of the following structures.
-
Initial Engagement Retainers
Used for early-stage assessment, strategic review, and engagement structuring.
-
Monthly Advisory Fees
Applied where mandates require ongoing lender engagement and active advisory involvement.
-
Milestone-Based Fees
Structured around defined stages or deliverables during the engagement.
-
Success-Based Compensation
Linked to measurable financial outcomes achieved through the mandate.
-
Hybrid Structures
Combining retainers, milestone fees, and performance-based components depending on the situation.
RETAINER POLICY
Defined Engagement Framework
Where mandates involve monthly advisory retainers, engagements are generally structured within predefined timelines and, in most standard situations, retainers are typically capped at six months.
This approach is designed to avoid open-ended advisory costs.
Any extension beyond the initial engagement period is discussed transparently and agreed separately in advance.
Maintain execution discipline and preserve commercially focused engagement structures.
Performance-Aligned Economics
SUCCESS-BASED COMPENSATION
For refinancing, restructuring, capital raising, and liability management mandates, compensation may include a success-based component linked to measurable financial outcomes achieved through the engagement.
Depending on the mandate, success fees may be linked to:
Amount refinanced or restructured
Financing efficiency improvements
Interest expense reductions
Liquidity enhancement
Covenant restructuring outcomes
Capital secured
Balance sheet optimization
Our approach is designed to align compensation with tangible financial value creation rather than time-based advisory billing alone.
External Professional Services
THIRD-PARTY COSTS
Certain mandates may require external professional services including:
Legal counsel
Valuation providers
Due diligence specialists
Regulatory advisors
Cross-border coordination support
Any such costs are discussed transparently and approved with clients in advance.
