Our team engages in all stages of transaction management. We have a satisfactory track record of helping our clients with the following.

Identification and pursuit of the right transaction to help business aspirations and business plan.

Operating as reporting accountants.
Arranging a business plan to meet the needs of both business and anticipated stakeholders.
Carrying out business reviews and viability reports anonymously for banks and other lenders.
Finding suitable non-executive directors
Mergers and acquisitions will only add value if:
they are incorporated into the company’s existing activity in the proper manner,
they align with the company’s strategy, and
they are executed at the right price.
We help our clients to think about whether a merger or acquisition would suit their business. The quality of our advice comes about because of an open relationship with our clients and good understanding of their aspirations.

Our guidance considers economies of scale and new product and market access, as well as ‘softer’ business matters like property needs, staff, branding, financial systems and change management.

The legal due diligence that we do guarantees that our client has a good understanding of their target and minimize the risks associated with acquiring it. We do transactions as tax-efficient as possible, both for our client and the counterparty (because most sellers will focus on after-tax proceeds).
