Mergers and acquisitions
From strategy and targets to valuation, deal structure and integration.
Growth through M&A
A merger combines two or more companies into a new company, generally by offering the shareholders of one company securities in the acquiring company in exchange for their shares. An acquisition is the purchase of one company by another, with no new company formed: the buyer acquires most or all of the target's ownership to take control, paying in cash, its own shares or both.
Mergers and acquisitions are often part of a growth strategy, when merging with or taking over an existing business is more beneficial than expanding alone. A deal can add considerable value, but making each stage succeed, from valuation and negotiation to completion, demands experience and knowledge, and many factors from regulation to tax can affect it.
