When I am working with a client, I'd say probably the most consistent piece of advice is to understand your objectives clearly so that you can appreciate the risks as well as the opportunities, and to think about what it might mean if you don't close the transaction as well as if you do close it. And I'd say, separate to that, is there is no substitute for careful preparation."
