How We Work
Engaged per mandate.
Scope defined, fee agreed, work delivered.
Senior throughout.
No leverage model. No Associate learning the sector on your transaction. The people on the brief are the people doing the work.
Specialist support.
Specialists brought in where the mandate needs them — legal, sector, technical. The right people for the problem, not a permanent bench you’re subsidising.
Alongside your team.
Execution is where we start, not where we leave. We work alongside your internal team throughout the fund life cycle.

Who
David McLean
FounderLinkedIn
I founded Claymore in Dubai after fifteen years across consulting, media and financial services.
We work with funds, family offices and institutions that have capital to deploy but need experienced execution behind it — from modelling and diligence to screening, reporting and complex transaction support.
Our work is hands-on and focused on getting difficult mandates done properly.
