What we will not staff
Public-company current employees on their employer. Material non-public information. Expert-as-spy. The list is short and non-negotiable.
We will not connect you to a current employee to discuss their employer’s unreleased numbers. We will not brief an expert with MNPI and then pretend the call is ordinary-course. We will not recruit someone to violate an NDA they already signed.
That is not positioning. It is the only way a young firm stays in this market. The clients we want already have a compliance officer; they would rather we be boring.
If your brief requires a current operator at a listed company, we will look for former operators, suppliers, distributors, and regulators. That is usually the better call anyway.
