Escrow Agent
In complex financial transactions, from mergers and acquisitions to litigation settlements, counterparties often require a secure and impartial mechanism to mitigate risk. An escrow arrangement, managed by a trusted neutral party, provides this security by holding assets until pre-defined contractual conditions are satisfied.
Our Role
Aether acts as an independent and professional Escrow Agent, providing a secure repository for assets and a reliable mechanism for their eventual release. We are entrusted by all parties to hold assets and act only in accordance with the strict, mutually agreed terms of the escrow agreement.
Holding a portion of the purchase price (a holdback) to secure the seller’s indemnification obligations, or holding a good faith deposit from a bidder in an auction process.
Holding settlement funds pending final court approval or the satisfaction of settlement terms.
Holding subscription proceeds from investors until a minimum funding threshold is reached.
Absolute Impartiality
As a truly independent firm, we have no vested interest in the underlying transaction. This impartiality is the bedrock of our service, giving all parties the confidence that the escrowed assets are secure and will be administered without bias, strictly according to the letter of the agreement.
Operational Excellence
We combine our trusted status with operational efficiency. Our dedicated team and strong banking relationships enable us to establish escrow accounts and complete KYC procedures swiftly, ensuring that the escrow arrangement can be put in place to meet demanding transaction timelines.
