We can explore and execute all types of deals for our clients, from M&A to Trade Sales and MBOs
Corporate Transactions
As our target sectors mature, the opportunities for mergers/joint ventures, acquisitions/ disposals and other corporate transactions increase. We have been involved in a number of these transactions and now regularly include them (where appropriate) in our analysis of options for clients looking for funding, value enhancement, disposal of non-core assets, etc. Our offering in these fields is characterised by:
  • Relevant sector and transaction experience (please see our track record)
  • In-house sector-specific financial and technical expertise
  • Knowledge of potential targets and comparables in the relevant sectors
  • Ability to raise bridge funding (where appropriate)
  • Network of legal, accounting, tax and technical advisers (if required)

Where appropriate, we can supplement our work with support in the following areas:

  • Search for potential targets/acquirers
  • Documentation of assets/businesses to be included in the transaction
  • Preparation of financial projections and valuation estimates
  • Preparation of information memoranda and/or presentations
  • Financial and technical due diligence
  • Review of contracts and other key documentation
  • Assistance with selection and coordination of other advisers

Examples of our experience in this area includes our work supporting Anglo Platinum in the establishment of a joint venture with Johnson Matthey, the sale of Proton Motor to Proton Power Systems, and the acquisition of APS by Intelligent Energy. Please consult the track record page for information on this and our other corporate transactions work
