Ultimately, a successful M&A transaction is based on strategy. We begin the discussion with your leadership team understanding your business goals and growth objectives, and then to determine what it is you want through the acquisition, merger, or divestiture process. We provide a robust strategic framework to ensure that all M&A possibilities align clearly with your overarching vision. We provide market intelligence to identify possible targets in a competitive landscape: we assess if it is in your best financial and strategic interest to pursue the M&A, and prepare you for the journey ahead.
Structuring the deal is an important step that affects everything from tax liabilities to legal compliance. We work with our clients to come up with the right structure whether that ultimately is an asset purchase or stock purchase. Then we support you throughout the negotiation phase. We always try to strike a balance where we are able to get you the terms that protect your interests while also providing a smooth transaction. We lean on our experience to ensure that this part of the transaction is as clear and comfortable as it can be.
It is important to carry out sufficient due diligence in order to document potential risks and opportunities over the terms of an agreement. We do all parts of the due diligence process covering important areas like financial, legal, operational, and synergies. By providing a clear and true representation of the target company, you can make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.
Valuation is an art and a science. We can provide robust valuation services and financial modeling to make sure you understand the worth of the target company. The valuation process encompasses identification and assessment of tangible and intangible assets, future earnings projection, and the financial implications of the transaction. We tailor the models to allow you to maximize the transaction’s value while limiting risk.
The true value of an M&A transaction is realized only after the integration is complete. We offer full post-deal integration services to help you achieve this seamlessly - coordinating processes, integrating systems, and navigating emergent cultural differences. We will work with your teams to develop a full integration plan and help maximize synergies while minimizing disruptions so that the merged entity operates properly from day one.
Navigating regulatory hurdles can be daunting, especially for commercial and private companies that do not have sophisticated legal resources in house. We help ensure that your M&A transaction conforms with all applicable laws and regulations, including antitrust issues, tax considerations, and industry-specific regulations. We can provide legal support during every phase of your transaction minimizing your regulatory risk and making sure that legal responsibilities and rights are resolved allowing you to focus on getting the transaction completed successfully with no regulatory surprises.
