> What they'll be looking for however is a significant cut % of the deal so that is what you have to think about next

The thing is that I've got a termsheet on the table that doesn't look half bad. What is my RoI on engaging someone like this if they are going to take a significant portion of this deal?

That is why this is your new focus of negotiation. Cause its up to you. And by the way, you can go to the professional with this same question. You're the one with the hot deal. If he wants in, he'll have to give you a compelling reason to bring him in. And perhaps that could be a combination of experience, legal assistance and a reasonably modest commission. You're looking for win/win.
