Sell-side M&A Representation

We specialize in sell-side mergers and acquisitions, prioritizing the identification and engagement with the ideal buyer for our clients’ companies. This involves considering not only the financial terms of the transaction but also ensuring a compatible match for our clients’ leadership teams and their employees. A key aspect of our approach is the international scope of every transaction. We actively seek out international buyers, as they frequently present higher valuation opportunities in cross-border deals. Our expertise extends to assisting clients in planning, negotiating, and finalizing deals that provide liquidity and facilitate their exit strategies.

Buy-side M&A Representation

Our expertise lies in aiding buyers and investors in acquiring businesses valued between $5 million and $200 million. We provide buy-side advisory services aimed at assisting our clients in identifying, attracting, and engaging with potential M&A and investment opportunities across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Our services are particularly beneficial for large corporations aiming to expand into new geographical areas without local M&A capabilities or for those seeking to augment their target acquisition scope. This is especially relevant for U.S. and European companies that may lack sufficient M&A target coverage.

US <> Europe M&A Integrations

A detailed analysis published by the Harvard Business Review shows that organizations with well-integrated cultures during cross-border mergers and acquisitions achieve profit margins 3–5% higher than those facing cultural friction. Early and robust cultural assessment is essential; it helps identify risk factors that could trigger culture clashes, uncovers opportunities for cultural synergy, and informs the design and timing of effective integration strategies. An early focus on understanding both organizational cultures allow leaders to better anticipate management style conflicts, decision-making differences, and communication barriers. Comprehensive assessments clarify both the unique strengths of each entity and the pain points that may disrupt progress or lower employee morale. Our team of experts brings field-tested methodologies to the analysis of cultural friction points between US and European business cultures, and ensures data-driven, tailored strategies for integration. They facilitate open communication and transparency—helping employees adapt, remain engaged, and contribute to the combined organization’s success. Ongoing expert oversight minimizes risk and increases the likelihood of a successful merger, maximizing financial and human capital outcomes.
