Drive your Growth. Secure your Future.
Markets, industries and business models are changing rapidly.
Companies and organisations that want to continue their success must consistently question and reinvent their business models. Buying and selling entire companies or individual business areas are important elements of strategic development. However, executing and financing transactions are activities that are becoming increasingly complex but lead to change – and generate questions that are increasingly difficult to answer. That’s why a comprehensive assessment of the relevant parameters is essential to a successful transaction.
- Where do you want to invest and divest?
- What role do ESG criteria play in transactions?
- How do you identify suitable targets to buy or sell, or select individual business areas to carve-out?
- Which partners are best suited to support you in your analysis of companies, industries and markets, and can assist you in developing efficient processes for mergers and acquisitions?
- Who is going to support you in generating a company valuation?
- And who will advise you about contract negotiations and protection against risks of liability?
Whether you’re focusing on restructuring, financing, stock market flotation, international tax law, integrating acquisitions or separating business areas: It’s always vitally important to minimise the risks of planned transactions – and optimise the benefits. From strategic analysis through to due diligence, closing or post-deal integration, the right partner can provide the advice you need to succeed every step of the process.

We also assess all tax-related or financing-related aspects of your planned acquisition, and provide you with clarity about the impact on your balance sheet and KPIs.
Initial Public Offering (IPO)
Setting up controlled IPO processes: We can answer any structural, operational or regulatory questions you may have, and work with you to develop an attractive equity story for a successful stock market flotation.
