01 / What we actually do

6 plays under one capability.

M&A Advisory is rarely one job. Engagements typically braid two or three sub-offers, led by the partner with the most relevant operating experience.

01

Sell-side advisory

End-to-end representation of operating-company sellers. We build the financial story, prepare the data room, run the process, manage the buyer pool, and stay in the room through close.

02

Buy-side advisory

Acquirer-side representation for strategics and operating-company buyers. Target sourcing through close. We will tell you when to walk.

03

Roll-up / multi-target sequencing

Multi-acquisition sequencing for operating platforms. Synergy capture modeling, funding stack, target pipeline, integration as each closes.

04

Earn-out & deferred consideration structuring

Working capital pegs, earn-out milestones, escrow mechanics, indemnity caps. Where deals quietly go bad after close.

05

Post-close 100-day integration

First hundred days after close, embedded inside the new combined entity. Working-capital normalization, finance-function rebuild, leadership transition.

06

Distressed M&A / wind-down

For operating companies facing forced sale, refinancing wall, or wind-down. We move fast, tell the truth, partner with licensed restructuring counsel where needed.
