Have an Upcoming Transaction and Don’t Know Where to Turn?

Who do you turn to when you need assistance with your upcoming merger, acquisition or corporate transaction? Having a trusted advisor who can advise through each phase of the transaction life-cycle from target screening and analysis, letter of intent, financial and tax due diligence, and quality of earnings, to purchase price adjustments, earn-out provisions and post transaction integration can either make the deal or break it. You need someone who can guide you through every step of the transaction life-cycle while providing experienced advice relevant to your decision-making.

Our Transaction Advisory Services team is well-versed in understanding the ins and outs of the issues and challenges involved in each individual transaction. For buyers, financial, tax and IT due diligence is key to maximizing value, minimizing risk and making any transaction a success. As a seller, sell-side or defensive due diligence and proper tax planning is key to identifying issues before they arise in order to help mitigate risk, maximize sales price and work towards a successful transaction to bring owners the most in after-tax proceeds.
