Transaction Services 

• Pre-deal evaluation and bid services - We provide assistance in pre-deal evaluation that is used in public takeovers, mergers, benchmarking, private acquisitions and potential disposals.
• Transaction evaluation (due diligence) - We help assess the key issues facing the business and the drivers behind maintainable profits and cash flows by  analysis of commercial relationships and operations market studies. We provide an investigative analysis of a business, typically including results/projections, tax, cash flows, commercial issues, management information, systems and controls, pensions, compensation, benefits, legal issues and environmental matters.
•  Vendor assistance - We assist with carve-outs, information memoranda and data rooms, answer purchaser queries, undertake vendor due diligence and perform independent business reviews. We undertake objective Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) exercises, initiated by a seller to assist with its proposed sale of a business, recognizing that our duty of care is owed to potential purchasers, and that our report will be addressed to the ultimate purchaser.
•  Transaction structuring - We assist with the creation of efficient deal structures, optimizing tax, accounting, commercial and legal positions.
•  Contract assistance - We support transactions' negotiation and completion phases, and advise on contract drafting, price adjustment mechanisms, scope of warranties and indemnities.
•  Integration/separation - We identify and assess synergies and separation issues. We provide integrated programs to identify, prioritize and solve implementation issues; rationalize systems, technology and products; integrate industry best practices; retain key staff; build a management team
•  IPO services - An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a complicated and time consuming process. Our experience shows that many companies underestimate the demands that the IPO process places on their existing resources. As a result, executives can neglect the day to day issues facing the business in the critical period running up to the listing. Furthermore, companies fail to anticipate the cultural and behavioural changes required to achieve best practice corporate governance in the longer term.
