M&A Advisory

Our Client Approach

Completing a successful transaction requires clear strategy, rigorous preparation, and expert execution. Our M&A advisory team supports businesses and shareholders through every stage of the transaction lifecycle, from initial strategic review through to completion. Whether you are considering a sale, acquisition, management buyout, or merger, we provide clear, commercially focused advice to help you achieve the best outcome.

We work closely with you to understand your objectives, value drivers, and risk appetite, ensuring the transaction strategy is aligned with your broader business goals. Drawing on deep market insight and strong relationships with strategic buyers, private equity investors, and funders, we help position your business effectively and run a disciplined, competitive process.

Our team provides hands-on support across valuation, deal structuring, negotiations, and due diligence, managing complexity while maintaining momentum. We focus on optimising value, managing risk, and delivering certainty in an often demanding and time-sensitive environment.

Whether you are pursuing growth through acquisition, planning an exit, or restructuring ownership, we bring clarity, objectivity, and experience to the process. Our advice is independent, pragmatic, and focused on delivering transactions that support long-term value creation and successful outcomes for all stakeholders.

 

Our M&A Advisory Services

  • Lead Advisory

    Poorly structured deals destroy value and invite post-transaction disputes. We act as your independent lead advisers, providing end-to-end deal management. From valuation to negotiation support and completion mechanics, our rigorous approach prevents misaligned deal terms.

  • Private Equity

    Overlooking portfolio company risks leads to eroded returns. We support PE firms with financial due diligence, value creation planning, and exit preparation, identifying operational and financial red flags early.

  • Buy Side Search

    Rushed acquisitions often result in strategic misfits. Our systematic search process identifies targets matching your growth criteria, followed by disciplined screening to assess cultural fit, synergy potential, and hidden risks before you commit resources to due diligence.

  • Distressed M&A & Special Situations

    Traditional deal approaches fail in distressed scenarios. We provide crisis management support, accelerated due diligence, and develop strategies to capitalise on opportunistic acquisitions while avoiding common traps like successor liability or fraudulent transfer claims.
