Not sure where to start?
When the brief doesn't fit a single discipline, we scope a custom mandate — partner-led, time-boxed, with a defined outcome.

Advisory built for businesses crossing borders.
From Tallinn and London, we sit alongside leadership teams on the decisions that compound — capital structure, market entry, governance, and the operating discipline required to make them stick.
The practice · 05
Five disciplines, one firm.
Each engagement is led by a senior partner end-to-end and delivered jointly across our Tallinn and London offices. We do not subcontract, and we do not staff up to fill out a project plan — the people you meet are the people who do the work.

Insights
Field notes from the practice.
- operating model№ 001
What "operating model transformation" actually means
A note on how to distinguish a real operating model transformation from a rebranded reorg or an ERP rollout dressed up as strategy. Most of what is sold as transformation is one of the latter two.
Read note - operating model№ 002
The cross-border operating model that actually survives audit
A short field note on how mid-market groups operating across the EE / UK / TR triangle structure their entities, intra-group services, and reporting cadence — and where most of them break.
Read note - capital structure№ 003
Capital structure for family-owned groups — the conversation most founders avoid
Family-owned groups tend to defer the capital structure conversation for ten years and then have it under deal pressure. A note on why that is the worst possible sequence, and what an early version of the conversation looks like.
