For Teams

For teams wishing to move to another company

Teams consider moving platforms for many reasons: frustration with a firm that been unable to monetise their strong performance; operational or resourcing constraints preventing them from growing their franchise; or broader corporate issues that prevent them securing or retaining consultant ratings.  Some teams feel a sense of ‘cultural drift’ arising from a merger or change in senior leadership vision.  Others seek greater autonomy, or a more transparent or fairer alignment of remuneration with growing assets and the profitability of the team.

For team leaders

A successful lift-out gives leaders the chance to keep their team, process and track record intact, shape their own franchise and operate with the backing of a firm committed to their long-term success.

For team leaders, a platform move can offer:

  • Greater commercial alignment
  • Improved revenue participation
  • Access to the resources needed to scale their strategy
  • Better distribution support
  • A stronger brand
  • A more coherent cultural fit
  • A corporate environment that allows the team to secure consultant ratings or regain lost momentum

Not all teams are suitable for a lift-out; only those that meet the viability thresholds required for a move can pursue this path.

Godliman Partners works discreetly with team leaders to:

  • assess that feasibility
  • protect them from litigation risk
  • structure any potential move lawfully and with minimal disruption.

This allows teams to explore alternative platforms with confidence and complete discretion.
