STRATEGIC ADVICE
Strategic Advice for Mergers
We use our extensive experience to help you identify your true rationale for a merger and your desired outcomes. Once understood, they inform the negotiating stance and set the strategy for delivering the best possible result.
For us, this does not simply mean producing a list of random potential merger candidate firms but a thorough process which enables our clients to focus on candidates that will best facilitate the achievement of their objectives. This process involves:
- Analysis of our client’s strategic objectives
- Providing honest, objective advice on the most likely means of achieving those aims. This may involve solutions other than merger – for example, sale to an Employee Ownership Trust
- Helping our client to put its best foot forward in any merger talks by dealing with matters that may make it less attractive to a merger partner
- Using our extensive in-depth knowledge of the legal market and networks to identify potential merger candidates
- Sharing our insights into each potential merger partner and helping our client evaluate the opportunities represented by each
- Helping our client to list potential candidates in their preferred order of approach
