Paladin Synerges is committed to identifying, disclosing, and managing conflicts of interest in a manner consistent with professional ethics and applicable regulatory standards across law, finance, and corporate advisory practice.

Identification : Prior to accepting any engagement, the Firm conducts a conflict check across existing and prior client relationships, matters, and interests of its partners and associates, to identify actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest.

Disclosure : Where a potential conflict is identified, the Firm shall disclose the relevant circumstances to the affected parties, to the extent permissible under confidentiality obligations, and shall not proceed with the engagement without appropriate resolution, which may include informed consent from all affected clients, or declining the engagement.

Information Barriers : Where the Firm acts for clients with potentially competing or adverse interests across its multidisciplinary practice areas, appropriate information barriers and internal safeguards shall be implemented to preserve confidentiality and independence of advice.

Ongoing Obligation : Conflict identification is an ongoing obligation throughout the duration of an engagement. Partners and associates are required to promptly report any conflict that arises or becomes apparent during the course of an engagement.

Independence of Advice : The Firm's multidisciplinary structure is designed to ensure that advice rendered under each service line remains objective, independent, and in the best interest of the client, notwithstanding the involvement of multiple practice teams.

Formal Engagement Required : Professional services are rendered by Paladin Synerges only pursuant to a formal engagement letter or agreement, which sets out the scope of work, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, and terms applicable to the specific mandate.

Conflict and Onboarding Checks : Prior to commencement of any engagement, the Firm undertakes a conflict-of-interest check and client due diligence in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Scope of Work : The scope of services shall be clearly defined in the engagement letter. Any work outside the agreed scope shall require a separate mutual agreement or an addendum to the existing engagement.

Fees and Billing : Professional fees shall be communicated transparently at the outset of an engagement and shall be billed in accordance with the terms agreed, whether on a fixed-fee, time-based, retainer, or milestone basis.

Termination : Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the terms set out in the engagement letter, subject to settlement of fees for work performed up to the date of termination and orderly handover of matters.

Use of Multidisciplinary Teams : Where an engagement requires expertise across multiple service lines, the Firm may involve relevant specialists from within its multidisciplinary team, subject to the client's awareness and, where appropriate, consent.
