Transaction management

If you are contemplating the sale of your company or the acquisition of another, it is probably a significant milestone for your business.

“What can possibly go wrong?”

Even promising deals after agreeing terms and passing due diligence can fall through at the last minute and aside from the potential disappointment, your time is too valuable in running your company to be distracted by this potentially volatile aspect of growth. We can lead, advise and deliver this process for you.

experience + deal sizes

We have more than 20 years of transaction experience advising on deals of varying types and scale, be it merger or acquisition, trade sale, private equity investment, employee investment, corporate borrowing and management buy-out and buy-in. But... we are not PWC, so our sweet spot in deal size is the range of £1m to about £20m. If you are considering a much larger transaction than this we can recommend who else you should talk to.
We can offer full transaction advice and management for the following:
