Our multi-disciplinary mergers and acquisitions practice combines perspectives gained from bulge bracket banking and capital markets, executive management in both private and public companies, audit and public accounting, board of directors service, start-up management, venture capital, private equity, emerging market finance, and restructuring and turnarounds.

We are active across the full spectrum of M&A advisory roles:

Sell-side advisory
Leveraging our independence and lack of conflicts, we have a strong track record in sell side advisory roles. Acting as advisors for target companies, special board committees or selling shareholders, we can operate at the heart of any process, assist with preparation, marketing, giving impartial and objective advice about the merits of term sheets received, negotiations, and closing.

Buy-side advisory
We have a strong record of successful buy side advisory assignments in relation to private target companies and corporate roll-ups and are able to advise interested buyers on attractive targets through our global network. We are particulary strong in helping strategic buyers analyze operational and financial synergies.

Post-acquisition integration advisory
Because our team of partners and principals have deep experience in actually leading early and growth-stage companies, we understand well the challenges of combining acquired companies.  The immediate post-acquisition execution is critical to realizing the value of an acquisition.  Our clients look to us for follow-on planning and execution to maximize the value of their capital.

Advisory to the Board of Directors and Special Committees
We advise corporate Boards and their special committees on critical issues that affect merger and acquisition strategies and execution. In these cases, our independence, expertise and discretion positions us as a trusted advisor helping directors and management understand and assess all options, even in difficult situations where the future of the company may be hanging in the balance.
