Areas of expertise
Strategic advisory
We provide strategic and tactical advice tailored to our client’s requirements in order to address key issues throughout the entire entrepreneurial cycle − from a company’s establishment and expansion to its sale. We review our clients’ business models and their strategic alternatives, identify opportunities to enhance shareholder value, and deliver analytical, industry and structure-related expertise in special situations.
Buy-side M&A
When advising clients on the acquisition of a company or a set of assets, we search for, identify and evaluate potential acquisition targets. We provide valuation analyses and advice on the timing, structure, financing and pricing of an acquisition, as well as offering support with negotiating and closing the transaction. As a buy-side advisor, we originate deals for our clients or guide them through structured sales processes.
Sell-side M&A
We support clients with their decision to sell a company or certain assets in both strategic and distressed situations. We evaluate the client’s strategic options with respect to the sale, and define and manage the sales process, including the preparation of sales materials. Our industry and market know-how enable us to identify suitable investors and assist our clients in negotiating and closing the transaction.
Leveraged transactions
By combining our M&A expertise with our knowledge of capital structure decisions, we navigate our clients through leveraged buy-outs (LBOs), management buy-outs (MBOs), management buy-ins (MBIs) and similar transactions.
Business valuations
We offer an unbiased perspective on investment projects, companies and third-party transactions in the shape of business valuations and fairness opinions.
