DEAL AWARD TIPS

► Include as many financing details as you can

We seek to ensure we are championing the best transactions of the year. To do so we need to know the finer details of each transaction. The more detailed the description of the financing structure, the more likely your submission will stand out.

► Include all deal participants

A full list of all deal participants allows us to better understand the relationship that brought the deal to financial close and invite everyone who worked on the transaction to our awards ceremonies. This information will also inform our company awards.

► Bigger is not always better

Emphasise unique challenges overcome and bespoke transaction structures employed, not just how much capital was raised. Also explain why the transactions happened, not just how it happened.

 

► Specify exactly when the deal reached financial close
 

We will consider deals that have not closed at the time of submission but are expected to before 31 December 2020, but if a deal has concluded then do give the date of closure.

COMPANY AWARD TIPS

► Stick to the deals

Your work on corporate social responsibility may be commendable but it will not win you the award.  We aim to recognise the companies which have worked on the most important deals over the period, it is important to focus on this.

 

► Provide an overview

As well as detailing the most significant deals worked on, provide information on the total volume of deals completed by your company during the year, with additional information on what sectors and in what countries you closed deals.

► Be clear what role your company played

Some advisers/law firms/lenders/sponsors will play a more active role on deals than others.  It is important to specify exactly what your company did on the deals you choose to highlight.
