Is it typical for a lawyer or accountant to get paid on a deferred or contingent basis, or is that just not how things are done? 

Thanks for any help you can give!

Yes to deferred. Contingency w/legal usually has to do with litigation not necessarily M&A activity.

Deferred fees - YES. Contingent fees aren't generally acceptable to professional service providers
