We help serial dealmakers realise their growth ambitions, whether they are established corporates or sponsor-backed structures expanding their portfolio or new entrants rolling out buy and build models. Our hugely experienced, specialist team advises public and limited companies, limited liability partnerships and limited partners on mid-market repeat acquisition strategies in a broad range of sectors, including those which are heavily regulated.
We are involved at every stage, from initial concept, through design and implementation phases. We work with clients to identify an appropriate structure, standardise key documents and processes, and create bespoke precedent documents, all geared towards maximising the attraction of the offering to the target seller market. We also handle the integration process, including post-completion filings and company secretarial issues, remedial items identified in due diligence, employment term harmonisation, pensions and immigration issues, GDPR and IT.
We provide clear and precise advice, helping to manage the process efficiently and get each deal done, allowing your team to manage multiple transactions simultaneously and to move on to the next target in line with your strategic growth plans.
