Fee structures are often negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and you should consider all the factors of your transaction. the Lehman formula can serve as a guide on the success fee

Definitely fact pattern specific. Many times on smaller raises I have seen upfront fee or monthly retainer with a success fee (2-4%) that is netted against what is paid to date
