M&A

Our record is unparalleled. We support most of the world’s largest transactions, working successfully with leading global companies and executives—including programmatic deal makers who are reshaping their industries. Our M&A client service focuses on several priorities:

• Portfolio transformation. Evidence suggests that static portfolios underperform. In contrast, active owners use programmatic M&A and selective divestitures to continually shift their portfolios toward better industry exposure and assets. The best keep moving. We help clients do that wisely and effectively.
• Seamless end-to-end delivery. From strategy and capital planning all the way through the final steps of integration execution, we help clients identify the best path to shareholder value.
• Translating strategy into action. Few companies align their strategy and M&A program sufficiently. We help companies make these links explicitly and translate this into clear blueprints for making deals (acquisitions and separations).
• Flawless execution. Glitches can occur at any point in a transaction or during integration or separation. We help clients spot hurdles early—and clear them.
• Capturing insights. We help clients refine their deal-making approaches over time to reflect their unique context.
• Learning and capability building. We focus on client skill building day-to-day and in more programmatic ways to make M&A a competitive advantage that is distinctive and repeatable.
