For trustee, agency and escrow teams
Name the law firms, funds and arrangers that appoint you. In about two minutes, Mandate reads their websites and gives you the partners and heads of desk most likely to decide, how to reach each one and what to ask them, with every name linked to the page it came from.

Read from the firm's own page, shown below.
Ask Imogen whether upcoming issuer or DCM mandates need an independent trustee, paying agent, escrow bank, or controlled-release route.
Measured, then checked by hand
Benchmark: saved copies of six real UK and Nordic firm websites, five law firms and a trustee, run through Mandate on 28 September 2026 with a longer time limit than a live run uses, and checked by hand. Four entries that were not people and one duplicate are left out of the counts. A live run reads each firm for about 20 seconds, so a slow site is read less deeply. Your free live run shows these numbers for your own firms.
See it run
Real screens from the app, with fictional firms. The run is sped up: five firms take about two minutes.
The hard part
One person on their firm's own website, and what Mandate makes of them. Then one where it has to guess.
Team pages, profiles, practice pages and news, public pages only. Everyone it finds keeps the page they were found on, and the day the firm was read.
A team page lists hundreds of names, and only a handful choose the trustee, agent or escrow provider. Mandate marks how likely each person is to decide, and says why they matter to what you sell.
The address the firm itself publishes, with the page the person was found on, so you can check it before you call.
No address on the page? Mandate builds one from the firm's own format where it has seen one, or a common format where it has not, labels it a guess, and asks you to confirm it before an email draft opens.
A first question to open with, for what you sell, so the call starts with their work, not your pitch.
What you walk away with
Every run ends in the same place: the people worth calling at your firms, and everything you need to call them.
After two minutes
The people named on your firms' pages, marked by how likely they are to decide and whether their practice fits what you sell, with the reason in plain words.
After twenty minutes
The people worth a call, each with the route to reach them and the question to open with, in a brief you can hand your team today.
Every week after
Everyone you contact on one board with a next step and a date, and a follow-up queue that tells you who is due. Add firms whenever your market moves.
How it works
Four steps in one place, about twenty minutes from firm names to a call list. The same loop runs for five firms or fifty.
Paste the websites of the firms you want to be in front of, or start from a ready-made market such as UK finance law firms, private credit funds or debt advisers. Tell it once what you sell.
It reads each firm's own team pages, profiles, practice pages and news, and keeps only real, named people, each with the page they came from.
Each person is marked high, medium or low likelihood to decide, read from their title and seniority, and whether their practice fits what you sell, with the reason. Then the address the firm publishes, or a guess marked as one, the page the person was found on and the question to open with.
Tick the people worth a call and share a one-page brief. Move them onto your board, and the follow-up queue tells you who is next and when. Nothing is sent without you.
Everything in it
Everything in this grid is built and working today.
Why not a database?
| What matters | Mandate | A contact database | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the names come from | The firms' own public pages, read when you ask | The vendor's records, updated on its own schedule | The firms' pages, one profile at a time |
| Who decides | Likelihood to decide from their title and seniority, plus whether their practice fits what you sell, with the reason | Title and seniority filters you set | Your judgement, person by person |
| The address | Found on the firm's page, or labelled as a guess | Usually a status or a confidence score, rarely the page it came from | Whatever you can find, or your own guess |
| Evidence | The page each person was found on, and the day the firm was read | Varies: some show a source, most a score | In your notes, if you kept them |
| Five firms | About two minutes | Minutes, once the filters are right | Hours |
| Cost | £500 a month for up to three people, at the founding price | Often an annual licence, usually per seat | Your time |
Our promises
In a market this small, one email to the wrong person costs more than a week of research.
These describe Mandate as it ships. If you connect your own Hunter account in Settings, the people it adds come from Hunter's database rather than a firm's page.

Larger teams and more than one market are priced together before the trial starts. If it is not useful, you will know before the first call ends.
About two minutes for five firms. Each firm gets a reading budget of about 20 seconds and firms are read one after another; most sites finish sooner, and a slow one can take a little longer. On a live run you watch it happen, and the brief is ready before the call ends.
It depends on how many people a firm names on the pages Mandate reads. In our benchmark of six real UK and Nordic firm websites, checked by hand, Mandate named 141 people: every one linked to the page they came from, 87% with their job title and 52% with an address found on the firm's own pages. Your live run shows the same numbers for your own firms.
The firms' own public websites: team pages, individual profiles, practice pages and news. Mandate keeps the page and the date for every person. It does not scrape LinkedIn, log in anywhere or buy data. The one exception is optional: connect your own Hunter account in Settings and its results are added too.
Databases sell volume and go stale, and most show a score rather than the page an address came from. Mandate reads the firms you choose when you ask, marks each person by how likely they are to decide and whether their practice fits what you sell, and shows its evidence for each one.
Each one is labelled. A published address was on the firm's own page. A guess is built from the firm's own format where Mandate has seen one, or a common format where it has not, and says which; Mandate asks you to confirm a guess before an email draft opens. No address is proof that a message will arrive.
No. It helps you choose who to contact and what to say, and can open a draft in your own mail. You send it yourself.
Five firms you want to be in front of and twenty minutes. No integration, no setup and no card.
Pilot workspaces run on a single machine in London that I operate, behind Cloudflare, and move to a UK host before the first paid customer. The trust page sets out hosting, providers and what is not in place yet, in plain words.
Who is behind it
I build software for regulated organisations. Before Mandate I built and sold a water and energy monitoring platform to UK water companies.
Mandate started as a tool for a friend who sells trustee and agency services. The databases on the market are built for volume. Her work is a small number of well-chosen calls. So Mandate does the opposite: it reads carefully, keeps its evidence, and tells you when it is guessing.
Give me twenty minutes and five firms, and I will run them with you, live. You will see what it finds as it finds it.
Start here
Twenty minutes on a video call. You name the firms, Mandate reads them while you watch, and you leave with the people to call and how to reach each one. If it is not useful, you will know before we hang up, and you will not hear from me again unless you want to.
