THE EDGEHILL PROTOCOL
NDA-first. Verification-gated. Escrow-led settlement.
A controlled pathway for significant works (€500k) and cross-border execution.
At this level, discretion is value–and process is protection.
Our protocol exists to persevere privacy, protect price integrity, and ensure clean completion.
The Edgehill Protocol
01 / Mandate + Pricing Corridor (Sell-side)
We operate under an exclusive, time-bound mandate with:
-
Asking position
-
Minimum net-to-seller
This creates discipline and prevents uncontrolled exposure.
02 / Controlled Disclosure (NDA-first)
Information is released in stages.
Seller identity, exact location, and sensitive details remain sealed until necessary.
-
No public listing by default
-
No brand circulation
-
No uncontrolled forwarding of materials
03 / Qualified Counterparties
Access is granted only to counterparties who can execute cleanly.
Verification is risk-based and may include:
-
identity / entity checks
-
proof of settlement readiness
-
beneficial ownership (where relevant)
-
screening measures approriate to the transaction
04 / Diligence Pack
We coordinate a structured diligence pack that may include:
-
condition overview (and independent reporting where required)
-
provenance summary and supporting materials (where available)
-
logistics feasibility and delivery pathway
-
term discipline and execution timeline
05 / Escrow-Led Settlement
Escrow-led completion is standard for significant works.
-
defined release conditions
-
funds-source matching
-
clear completion mechanics
-
documentation handled through counsel where required
06 / Insured Logistics
Delivery is coordinated via approved fine art logistics and insurance specialists.
Risk -transfer points and insurance coverage align to the agreed transaction term
Access ladder
-
Stage 0 (Pre-NDA): high-level teaser only
-
Stage 1 (NDA): watermarked materials + high-level summary
-
Stage 2 (Verified): full pack + viewing pathway
-
Stage 3 (Enhanced verification, if triggered): sensitive details + escrow/SPA drafts initiated
Edgehill & Ehre collaborates with counsel and regulated advisors to ensure clean cross-border execution.
Private banks, trustees, and legal representatives are welcome counterparties.
