About VIVAR
Our Approach
A disciplined advisory methodology, applied consistently from first conversation to post-mandate review.
The Engagement Lifecycle
01
Mandate Scoping
Every engagement begins with a confidential scoping discussion: objectives, counterparties, jurisdictions, and constraints. VIVAR accepts a mandate only where it can add substantive value and where no unmanaged conflict exists.
02
Strategy & Structure Formulation
The engagement team formulates the transaction or advisory strategy — structure options, instrument selection, jurisdictional considerations — drawing on the group's intelligence capability.
03
Counterparty Engagement & Coordination
VIVAR identifies, introduces, and coordinates the counterparties each mandate requires — banks, buyers, sellers, legal and tax advisers — managing the engagement process throughout.
04
Documentation & Instrument Advisory
The group advises on documentation and instrument workflows — SPA structures, documentary credits, SWIFT messaging sequences — alongside the client's appointed legal counsel.
05
Execution & Close Support
Through to completion, VIVAR coordinates the moving parts: settlement workflows, compliance documentation, logistics interfaces, and communication between all parties.
06
Post-Mandate Review
Each mandate concludes with a structured review — outcomes against objectives, lessons for future structures, and continuing intelligence relevant to the client's position.
Engagement Principles
- VIVAR acts as advisor and coordinator only. The group does not act as principal, does not provide capital, and does not guarantee transaction outcomes.
- Intelligence-led: market data and corridor knowledge are embedded in every engagement.
- Discretion as standard: confidential coordination, never public deal-making.
- Coordination, not substitution: clients retain their own legal, tax, and banking relationships; VIVAR works alongside them.
