When the client negotiates the MLA contract, the structure and/or wording, the timing is extended for an unknown amount of time. If client delays or balks, the timing goes out the window. Due diligence takes place sometime within the time frames listed above. If it’s a legitimate deal, it’s quick. If there is hair, we can’t say how long it will take. (Disclaimer: the above is all subject to change based on the specific circumstances of the transaction)
