Mergers & Acquisitions
Our preferred route to maximizing value for any party we may act for is to start well in advance of the actual transaction date. Whether acting for the seller or the buyer our intention is always the same, maximize the value created for the party we work for. This takes time to get it right, so always best to start early.
Acting for the Buyer
A successful acquisition always requires a sound investment thesis that fully considers the buyer’s current market position, strategic intentions, opportunities, and financial readiness. From initiation through to closing, we ensure that all the needed elements are in place for meaningful shareholder value creation.
Acting for the Seller
Any privately held business is only worth what someone with the means is willing to pay for it. Maximizing a seller’s transaction value requires that a compelling offering memorandum be developed, as well as suitable buyers identified and approached. We have extensive expertise in both, but most importantly, also help ensure the deal closes.
Shareholder Value Creation
The objective of any merger or acquisition is to build shareholder value. Unfortunately, failure is statistically far more common than success. We ensure pre-transaction due diligence uncovers any impediments to achieving the investment thesis, and that post-transaction value creation strategy sits on a solid foundation.
