We are independent M&A and corporate finance advisors.

We provide focused, results-oriented and discreet advice. This includes support for a wide range of corporate transactions and investment projects of financial and strategic relevance – in particular acquisitions, divestitures and mergers, as well as purpose-specific bank and capital market financings, IPOs and the structuring of equity investment transactions.

Drawing on our many years of broad-based experience, we always strive to work with our clients on a basis of mutual trust and free of any conflicts of interest.

About usServicesContactLegal noticeDeutsch

We have decades of comprehensive international investment banking experience.

Thanks to our professional expertise, our experience with complex matters and our cross-industry network, we regularly work on a wide variety of transactions, many of which are cross-border in nature.

Under “special mandates”, we also support executive bodies and specific stakeholder groups on individual issues or projects, often alongside investment banks that have already been engaged. These include in particular management boards, supervisory boards and advisory boards, as well as financial investors, management teams and groups of shareholders, partners or trustees. Our advisory support can range from straightforward coordination and/or controlling tasks, through the organisation of MBO and MBI transactions and the active support of shareholders or partners in special situations, to serving on supervisory and advisory boards.

Our clients are international industrial and service companies, leading mid-sized businesses and professional investors.

A key objective of our advice is to provide our clients with valuable decision-making support at an early stage and, if requested, to assist them with implementation and execution through to successful completion. To this end, we offer the following services:

M&A transaction advisory

We advise on and support the planning and execution of acquisitions, divestitures and takeovers. Together with our clients’ decision-makers, we define specific transaction objectives and criteria, initiate contacts and coordinate all subsequent negotiations and reviews (including due diligence). We also assist in structuring key aspects of the transaction. Finally, we analyse and assess the financial terms of a transaction and, if desired, help identify and secure suitable transaction financing or the reinvestment of the sale proceeds.

Financing advisory

We advise on and coordinate our clients’ financing projects, particularly capital market transactions. Working together with the issuing banks already mandated, our aim is to define and shape all relevant aspects of the transaction in the interest of all parties, or to put specific investor relationships on an objective footing and deepen them.

Strategic financial advisory

In cooperation with our clients, we develop and support specific measures aimed at sustainably strengthening or monetising a company’s equity value, guided by the principles of sustainable business practice, responsible investment management and good corporate governance.

Independent opinions

In consultation with the parties involved, we prepare (preliminary) assessments and, where appropriate, expert opinions for a wide range of M&A and corporate finance transactions and projects.

Looking for experienced, versatile and committed M&A and corporate finance experts of integrity – perhaps just for a second opinion?

Then simply get in touch with us.
