Mergers and acquisitions and private equity
We've invested nationally and internationally in building a specialist team that provide advice to quoted companies, private shareholders, management teams and private equity houses.
Our advice covers:
- private shareholders on preparing for and maximising value from the sale of their businesses
- management teams on negotiating terms and raising private equity and/or debt finance to support a management buy out or buy in
- corporate and private shareholders on raising private equity and/or debt finance for growth, cash out or recapitalisation
- a plc Board (Official List and AIM) in relation to: acquisitions and disposals; bid support or defence; and public to privates.
- acquisition support services for both private equity and corporate acquirers.
Our team is drawn from a multitude of backgrounds including industry, investment banking, management consultancy, specialist boutiques and big 4 accountancy firms.
Have a look at some of the deals we've done and speak to our clients. We're confident they will tell you we have a will to exceed expectations and make deals happen.
