Strategic Advice

M&A

An acquisition of or a sale to another company presents challenging issues of valuation, negotiation, funding, shareholder agreements, warranties and indemnities and integration. We have very significant experience in this area, having advised large as well as smaller companies on many complex deals both in the UK and internationally.

IPOs

The process of coming to market through a stock market listing is a complex and often difficult one for smaller companies. It is important to remember that the aims and interests of companies and their brokers are not always exactly aligned and it is difficult for people who are busy growing their businesses to deal effectively with the key aspects of an IPO and to ensure that their best interests are served at all times.

Restructuring

One of the most challenging experiences for any company is facing the challenge of a restructuring. This can take the form of a restructuring of debts, a corporate restructuring for tax, operational or other reasons or a business restructuring, where major operational changes are required to allow a company to continue to grow. We have experience of taking companies through all of these processes and, in addition to the expertise we can offer, this can allow senior management more time to focus on the core business.
