Detail matters. So we take time to understand it. Whether you’re buying or selling, we maximise value and mitigate risk – acting with the kind of integrity you’d expect from a trusted advisor. And if we think a deal’s not right for you, we say so – and why. Anything less would undermine how deeply we invest in our relationship with you.

Corporates, private equity firms and owner-managed businesses trust in our high-quality advice. They benefit from our international reach and broad relationships across the M&A community. So it’s no surprise that our successful approach to advising on complex, cross-border transactions has earned us an impressive reputation.

We provide advice across a wide range of activities including:

Lead advisory M&A

Get the right experts on your side at the pivotal moment. We deliver disposals through competitive international auctions, driving value and deliverability for off-market offers. We also raise primary or secondary capital as equity or debt, deliver acquisitions, carry out share purchase agreement negotiation and more.

Due Diligence

Where financial and tax details meet plain-speaking interpretation and guidance – including commercial recommendations on how risks can be mitigated and managed.

Capital Markets

From the London Stock Exchange to Bursa Malaysia, our reporting accountants have considerable experience working with listed companies or those considering a flotation.

Valuations

Our experts can help when you need independent, expert business and asset valuations for share schemes, tax planning and reconstruction transactions, purchase price allocations, legal disputes, and impairment reviews.
