In our experience buyers generally acquire for one of five
reasons:
- To expand into disciplines in which they are under-represented
or not represented at all
- To add strength to an existing company that has lost its
momentum
- To consolidate strength in a particular sector by acquiring a
complementary agency
- To leverage client relationships
- To add new geographies
Acquisitions are either made on a standalone basis or with a
view to merge with an existing company. Whatever the circumstances
our international practice can provide buyers with practical help
by:
- Reviewing the practical application of a proposed M&A
strategy
- Identifying target companies that meet the brief
- Creating narrative for the buyer
- Assisting in negotiations through to Heads of Agreement and
completion
- Managing value expectations
- Identifying delicate issues such as culture, and proposing how
best to address them
- Conducting commercial due diligence into the critical
non-finance areas such as the strength of client relationships and
staff morale and motivation
- Advising on deal structures which suit both parties
