Public to Private Due Diligence & Bid Support

Public to Private Due Diligence

As is normal on Public to Private transactions, in a first phase only publicly available documents can be analysed. Once discussions have progressed, certain additional information is normally made available. Through our recent experience with successful Public to Private transactions, we ensure focusing on “must-haves” rather than pushing for “like-to-have” information, thereby ensuring a focused and value driven approach.
