Langtry Advisory
Services

Five ways in.

Laddered from the smallest commitment to the largest. Most engagements start with a Commercial Read, because the first piece of work should tell you whether the rest is worth having.

The Commercial Read

$9,500 fixed

An independent assessment of one specific commercial question. Is this valuation defensible. Is the business ready to sell. Is the growth plan credible. Will this integration work.

Includes

  • Two half-day sessions with you or your sponsor
  • Review of your financial and commercial material
  • Up to six conversations with people who know the business
  • A scored assessment across five dimensions
  • A written read of eight to twelve pages
  • A two-hour readout across the table

Does not include

  • Valuation or financial modelling
  • Legal or tax advice
  • Any representation to the other side
  • Implementation

Timing

Two to three weeks.

The Working Session

From $12,000 a day

A facilitated day with your board or leadership team, built on the 5As and opened with a diagnostic. Used for strategy resets, post-acquisition alignment, succession conversations and cutting priorities back to the ones that matter.

Includes

  • Preparation and up to four interviews beforehand
  • A full facilitated day for up to twelve people
  • All materials and pre-reading
  • Written outputs and a decisions register within five working days
  • A follow-up call at thirty days

Does not include

  • Venue, catering and travel outside Greater Sydney, charged at cost
  • Implementation support, which sits under retained advisory
  • Individual coaching

Timing

One day on site, with preparation either side.

Retained Advisory

From $5,000 a month

Continuing access for owners, chief executives and sponsors who want one independent voice available across the year. Access is what is being bought, not hours.

Includes

  • Standard: two days a month plus telephone and email access, with a quarterly written review
  • Senior: four days a month, attendance at one board or leadership meeting a month, priority access, quarterly written review, and one Working Session included each year

Does not include

  • Any executive or operating responsibility
  • Unused days carrying forward
  • Transaction mandates, which are scoped separately

Timing

Twelve-month term, billed monthly in advance. Limited to three clients at a time.

Transaction Mandate

Typically $35,000 to $85,000

Commercial-side work across a transaction: buy-side or sell-side commercial diligence, succession readiness, integration planning, or post-deal relaunch.

Includes

  • A full commercial assessment of the target or the business being sold
  • Brand, customer and market position analysis
  • An assessment of key-person dependency and what survives the founder leaving
  • An integration or separation plan where relevant
  • A written report and a presentation to your board or investment committee

Does not include

  • Financial due diligence and valuation, which sit with your accountants
  • Legal due diligence and structuring
  • Any success fee, contingent fee or equity participation
  • Negotiating on your behalf

Timing

Six to twelve weeks, scoped and fixed at the outset.

Board and Governance

By arrangement

Non-executive director appointments and formal board adviser roles, commercial and not-for-profit, where an independent commercial voice is missing from the table.

Includes

  • Board and committee attendance
  • Papers, preparation and counsel to the chair or chief executive between meetings
  • Annual strategy contribution

Does not include

  • Executive responsibility
  • Advisory work for the same organisation without disclosed conflict management

Timing

Ongoing. Maximum two commercial seats at a time.

Also available to clients

These are capabilities rather than products. They are offered to clients where the work calls for them, not sold on their own.

Market access into Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. Trade mission preparation, government and embassy engagement, distributor selection, and the relationships in markets where culture is the gating factor.

Stakeholder strategy and government relations across Australia and South-East Asia, including issues management, public policy engagement and ministerial relations.

Brand and marketing strategy. Brand architecture, positioning and the programmes that follow, in the JWT planning tradition.

Interim and executive appointments are considered case by case where the work suits a longer engagement.
