Mergers and Acquisitions

Bringing organizations together through mergers and acquisitions, or carving them out through separations and divestitures, are among the most complex business activities an organization will undertake. The transformational results from a successful transaction can be game-changing—while the risks associated with underperformance or failure are sure to keep executives up at night.
