Explained in Chapter 2, The Cast and the Setup, of Legal Due Diligence.

How it comes up, in Chapter 2
The sale itself is run by a corporate finance adviser, a firm the seller hires to manage the process. On Sunrise that was Harborne & Co, which ran three Q&A rounds and 142 questions (report Appendix B). The adviser decides who enters the data room, when each round opens and closes, and how strictly the timetable runs. If a folder is still empty or a round closed early, ask the adviser's side, not the lawyers.
