Transactions

Private equity firms, corporations and financial institutions spend enormous amounts of time and resources determining the right M&A strategy. Creating the highest return for shareholders can involve either acquisition or divestment of divisions or a whole company. Having participated on both sides of the table in multiple industries and geographic markets, our senior experts advise on the optimal M&A strategy in each situation. We work with companies and their boards or private equity sponsors around the world to understand commercial market trends, assess the competitive landscape, evaluate strategic fit of alternative transactions, quantify revenue and cost synergy potential, estimate potential transaction prices before approaching targets or buyers, and identify the right transaction strategy to support shareholder value creation.

Our transaction services team offers a forward-looking perspective on the fast-paced European transactions market. Whether representing buyers or sellers, we offer a comprehensive commercial and operational due diligence service leading to value-related advice and hands-on support across a full spectrum of industries. We perform the highest-quality due diligence investigations, which contribute significantly to informed decision-making by management on either the buy or sell side of a transaction. We work closely with management to ensure that cost, benefit and risk information is used to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

Whether it’s to accelerate growth by acquiring a competitor, deliver liquidity to shareholders by selling all or a portion of the company, or raise debt or equity capital to execute growth initiatives, companies must pursue strategic or financial transactions. Our clients rely on the expert advice and extensive transaction experience of FTI Capital Advisors (FTICA) for global mid-market M&A. We help clients raise private capital and deal with distressed or special situations that require a transaction. Clients engage us for advice on a wide range of transactions and leverage our C-suite relationships and deep industry expertise to ensure efficient, value-creating outcomes.

Organisations undergoing mergers and carve-outs need support that mitigates risk, helps minimise business disruption and accelerates the evolution to the new company operating model. At many of the world’s top-performing public and private companies, senior executives (heads of corporate development and strategy, chief financial officers, and chief integration officers in charge of a transaction and the requisite integration of corporate entities) rely on our experts for transaction support to complete the deal successfully and efficiently. Clients benefit from the breadth and depth of our service offerings, which support them throughout the entire mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) transaction life cycle, from decision-making and pre-deal efforts through to post-integration.
