Professional M&A advice is essential in ensuring not only the ultimate success of the deal but also continual survival of the enlarged companies. In fact M&A activities often involve high risk especially for merging companies with different corporate cultures. However it may often be very rewarding by accelerating future growth in revenue or profit while it could sometimes be the last resort for corporate survival.

Our M&A team is made up of highly skilled and experienced professionals across a wide array of industries. We can undertake the lead manager role, supporting our clients in every stage of the M&A process:

• Identify and evaluate appropriate acquisition and divestment candidates as to whether they strategically and financially fit
• Advise on deal structure and assist in structuring tax-efficient deals and arrange appropriate form of financing
• Advice on business and company valuations

Integration Stage

• Advise on design and implementation of an integration plan for operational, financial and other back office functions to maximize revenue and cost synergies
• Advise on design of conversion plan of financial and other operational systems of the acquired and, sometimes, of the acquiring companies
• Advise on design of cross training plan to staff of the acquiring and acquired business units of the merging company.
