M&A & Strategic Advisory

We advise our clients on mergers and acquisitions, strategic partner searches and joint ventures. We work with businesses internationally, particularly those wishing to access our core relationship markets. We also work with financial investors looking to sell portfolio companies.

We work with clients wishing to sell their business or raise capital from strategic investors, where we help them to access buyers and investors from our core markets, and clients wishing to acquire or partner businesses, where we help them to expand into our core markets, including East Africa and India.

Our role includes:

• Identification and approach of potential targets or partners
• Full execution services, including preparation of business plan, information memorandum and financial model; advice on transaction structure and strategy; managing communication and interaction with targets or partners; overseeing due diligence; negotiations
• Coordination with external advisors for due diligence, legal documentation and deal structuring

We have an extensive international network of relationships with companies and partners, with particular strengths in East Africa, India, Japan, UK and Middle East, which gives us the ability to execute cross-border transactions, and to advise clients in all of these locations. In addition, we have a number of relationships in mainland Europe.
