James J. White & Associates, Inc. evaluates its role and participation in assignments on a case-by-case basis in order to accurately account for the specific needs of all parties involved. The firm offers flexibility in representing each client, structuring its compensation plan according to a mutually acceptable agreement determined at the initial stages of the engagement.

Depending upon the merits of a transaction and the corresponding commitment of the firm, clients may be required to pay retainer fees and to reimburse expenses. When a transaction is successfully concluded, the company is paid a cash fee in accordance with the terms of the prescribed agreement.

A proper alignment of interests is a critical determinant of a transaction's ultimate success. To promote this alignment, the firm, in some cases, may be granted an option to purchase equity. By co-investing with outside institutional equity investors and managers, the firm actively participates in the transaction, subject to master and limited partnership regulations. This meaningful capital commitment by all participants insures continuity and adds a further incentive to create future shareholder value. Historically, the firm's capital commitments have ranged from one hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars.
