We are renowned for our high volume of M&A transactions, which gives us the greatest real-time knowledge of markets and their participants, and established relationships across every type of deal party.
We help our clients to identify the best possible opportunities for acquisitions, disposals or strategic partnerships. We tailor the best strategy and timing in order to achieve the best possible results.
Tailored processes delivered at an unrivalled scale
We advise on and execute every type of M&A transaction, on either side, as well as bespoke strategic assignments such as joint ventures and partnerships. We design and deliver tailored transaction structures and processes based on our client’s objectives.
Investing time in understanding our client’s needs is fundamental to the way we work, and we always take a long-term view. This is clearly demonstrated by our relationships that span decades, and our significant repeat business.
