Making M&A history

When you bring organizations together through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), or create new entities through separations and divestitures, there is little time to second-guess. In today’s world, M&A can be increasingly complex, and decision-makers should move quickly and confidently to seize new opportunities. We understand the challenges—for both buyers and sellers alike.

Our global network of specialists can provide extensive industry knowledge and experience to help you confidently navigate the complexities of uniting organisations. Building value is our priority, and we can work seamlessly with you from start to end.

For sellers

We can help you understand the potential risks and rewards of a divestiture. We can assess your situation and help support your negotiating position to maximise the total deal value and execute the transaction with minimal disruption.

Navigating through the M&A lifecycle

As your best-in-class end-to-end M&A advisor, we have developed a broad offering covering each of the below stages in your M&A journey.

STAGE 1

M&A strategy

Portfolio, strategy development

Corporate strategy: To give your M&A strategy clear guidance, we’ll help refine your corporate strategy, identify current and future growth opportunities, evaluate competitive market positioning, and seek opportunities for portfolio-improvement across your current and future-proof strategic business areas.
Inorganic growth paths: First, we’ll define areas that require inorganic growth to leverage market opportunities by analysing competitor actions and customer demands. Then, we’ll determine if there are opportunities for horizontal and vertical integration or diversification that can improve competitive advantage.
Target profiles: We’ll help identify the characteristics of a model target by identifying capabilities within the organisation that need to be enhanced, as well as those the company cannot afford to have undermined through an acquisition.
Investment thesis: We’ll evaluate the alignment of strategic rationale to the corporate strategy and growth needs by identifying deal drivers and synergies that indicate if the acquisition is a sound investment.

Like the art of tightrope walking, merger and acquisition strategy demands skill and sequencing, with only one chance to get it right.

We work alongside your senior executives to define strategic objectives and how to employ M&A, in alignment with the corporate strategy, to drive profitable growth and improve competitiveness.

Knowing the where and how—where the company wants to compete and how it plans to win—is essential to define an effective path and identify strategic acquisition targets.

We provide M&A advisory services from early in the M&A lifecycle through to integration, as well as support with disciplines such as financial advisory, IT, and tax to deliver broad-based information that can inform the M&A strategy.

Our dedicated teams that have extensive experience in working with companies ranging from private family businesses to scale-ups and large international corporates, share their broad expertise through our end-to-end M&A services for various market segments.
