Mergers and acquisitions

For many of our clients, an M&A transaction is a once-in-a-lifetime process. We are here to advise you through all your options and guide you through the entire process, whether you’re buy or sell-side.

A transaction could be the sale of a company, buying a company, a management buyout, establishing an employee ownership trust, or the raising of finance. Every M&A client is unique, which is why we will work closely with you to understand your objectives and tailor our approach to your needs.

With our global reach, we provide transaction advice to selling shareholders, management teams, private equity firms and corporate businesses looking to acquire or refinance.

Securing the right deal 

Deals are complex and decisions surrounding them are rarely straightforward. We utilise our deep knowledge and experience of the mid-market to provide you with a clear visualisation of the various potential outcomes of each deal. We also draw on vast experience across sectors to give you valuable insights about the market you are selling or buying into.

With our strong connections in private equity, we’re well-placed to help you secure the most advantageous deal. Whether you need to raise funds or find suitable buyers, we will prime your business to attract the right deal for you.

Expert approach

Our M&A team has broad experience across a range of deal sizes, within the UK and internationally. We are experts in preparing businesses for transactions to help avoid deal issues and maximise value. Drawing on specialist services across tax, due diligence and debt advisory, as well as sector experts and technology solutions, we’ll give you maximum visibility of your transaction options and help smooth the process.

We act quickly and decisively under pressure, but never at the compromise of your understanding. We’ll always unravel deal jargon and give you clear, structured information to help you make key decisions. Taking the time to keep you up-to-date will ensure you are comfortable with the direction of your transaction.

We take a partner-led approach to our M&A advice, meaning you will always work with two partners on each project. You can trust us to take care of your transaction, giving you the time back to focus on running your business. At the same time, we’re personable and contactable at all times to give you peace of mind.
