Engineer the Right Fee Structure for Every Mandate

  • Model how your fee structure holds up across outcomes, identifying where you're leaving upside uncaptured and where you're exposed if a deal doesn't close cleanly
  • Validate critical fee components and engagement letter terms against current market rates: retainers, success fee grids, tail periods, fairness opinion fees, and more
  • Give your firm a consistent process for fee structuring that works the same way whether an MD or an analyst is running the numbers

The Private Market Data That Changes the Conversation

Public filings capture a fraction of what actually gets negotiated. In the middle market, verified transaction-level fee data has never existed in one place. Industry surveys offer blended averages across unrelated deals, which isn't useful when you're optimizing pricing a specific engagement. FeeLogic's contributory network fills that gap. Your team gets the private market data it needs to defend a fee with actual market evidence.
