What you should consider

If you are contemplating pursuing an acquisition strategy, you will be facing critical questions that are essential to successfully completing acquisitions without overpaying:

  • How should you best approach the target(s)?
  • How do you best finance the acquisition(s)?
  • Who are the decision-makers of your counterparts, what are their agendas, and how do you best address these?
  • Who are your likely competitors for the target, and how do you outsmart them?
  • What is the actual value to you of the acquisition, including synergies?
  • Tactically, what is the right price and payment structure to offer?
  • How is your due diligence best coordinated and reported?
  • How will different stakeholders react, and how is the transaction best communicated externally?
  • How should you best structure and manage your internal processing and communication?


How we assist our clients

We have assisted clients in analysing and answering such questions in global acquisitions for more than 21 years. We assist most clients not only in bidding and execution but also in target identification and prioritisation, as well as in their internal preparations and assessments.

With many of our clients, we enjoy long-term relationships where we advise them on all of their M&A activities. We believe that we owe our enduring client relationships to the consistent, unrivalled quality and added value that our clients experience from choosing us as their advisor.

Our ability to add value in acquisition processes comes from our understanding of counterparty behaviour and process dynamics, our ability to devise the best possible response tactics, and our experience in early identification and resolution of potential deal-breakers.

We provide a full range of advisory services through all phases of an acquisition. We have advised on all types of transactions from public takeovers in Australia to privately negotiated transactions in the Netherlands, and we have advised clients in all major industries.
