M&A Advisory

Delivering seamless transition and successful post-deal synergies

Our approach is collaborative, disciplined, and outcomes focused. We work alongside your teams to shape clear transaction strategies, assess value and risk with a level head, and make plans that people can deliver. Industry insight and a practical delivery mindset sit at the core of our work, supported by analytics and sensible use of digital tools so decisions are transparent and evidence based.

We help clarify the investment thesis, test assumptions through due diligence, and prepare Day 1 and first-100-day plans that protect customers and revenue. We design transition service agreements and target operating models that are realistic for your organisation, stand up programme governance that keeps decisions moving, and guide integration or separation with attention to people, data, and risk. IT and cybersecurity are built into every stage, so value creation is not undermined by technical debt or exposure.

Navigate transactions with clarity, protect value through execution, and realise synergies with confidence.

Our Services

Our M&A Advisory services offer end-to-end guidance across complex transactions, from early-stage strategy and due diligence to seamless integration and synergy realization.

Core M&A Services

Mergers & Acquisitions

We guide the full lifecycle from strategic assessment and opportunity identification through to transaction execution and post-deal value realisation. You get structured decision support before signing and practical delivery support after close.

Carve-outs & Divestments

We plan and execute separations with minimal disruption to business operations. The work covers operating continuity, data protection, and regulatory compliance so the departing and remaining organisations keep moving.

Deal Strategy and Transaction Enablement

We build the business case, align stakeholders, and set out a clear transaction roadmap. Materials are prepared with buyers, regulators, and employees in mind so approvals are smooth and next steps are unambiguous.

Post-Merger Integration

From Day 1 readiness through to full integration, we unify processes, systems, and teams in a way that respects the strengths of each business. Synergies are tracked, risks are managed, and leaders have the information they need to steer.

Operational Due Diligence

We test operating performance, cost structure, controls, and process maturity. The output validates assumptions, highlights risks, and identifies improvements that can be actioned during the first phases of ownership.

Day-1 and Day-100 Preparation

We create practical plans for the moments that matter most. Readiness checklists, communications, access and service cutovers, and early-win workstreams help the organisation move with confidence from announcement to execution.

TSA Development and Execution

We structure and manage TSAs that maintain continuity, set clear service levels, and plan for exit without surprises. Ownership, costs, and timelines are defined so both sides can operate effectively.

M&A Process Advisory & Playbook

We design a tailored M&A playbook and governance model that fit your culture and risk profile. Internal teams gain a reusable approach that shortens time to value on future transactions.

M&A Procurement Support

We protect continuity and value in the supply base during change. That includes sourcing strategy, RFP support, and contract negotiation to manage cost, risk, and service quality through the deal.

Target Operating Model Design

We co-create TOMs that align people, processes, and technology with the post-deal strategy. The design is practical to implement and sets up scalable, resilient operations.

M&A Program Management

We establish a dedicated M&A PMO to govern complex cross-functional work. Risks are surfaced early, interdependencies are managed, and delivery stays aligned to strategic goals.

IT in M&A & Cybersecurity Services

IT and Cybersecurity Due Diligence

We evaluate architecture, security posture, technical debt, and regulatory alignment, including GDPR, HIPAA, and NIS2 where relevant. Findings inform valuation, risk plans, and Day 1 priorities.

IT M&A Program Management

We coordinate vendors and oversee separation or integration of systems, data, and infrastructure. Decisions balance speed, stability, and cost so change lands safely.

TSA Development and Execution (IT Focus)

We craft IT TSAs that define scope, SLAs, costs, and data and system migration responsibilities. The result is uninterrupted service and a clear glide path to exit.

Day-1 and Day-100 IT Readiness

We plan and execute cutover and onboarding, including secure access, network alignment, and application availability. Runbooks and rehearsals reduce risk at go-live.

Digital Risk Mitigation Strategy

We identify risks linked to the deal, such as legacy vulnerabilities, data exfiltration, and third-party exposure. Action plans are prioritised and aligned to regulatory standards.

Cybersecurity Integration Playbook

We harmonise security policies, tooling, and access management across the combined entity. The goal is a unified posture that enables the business while improving resilience.

Our Differentiators

Integrated Approach

We cover strategy, diligence, integration, and technology. This keeps handovers tight and execution consistent across all phases of the deal.

Industry Expertise

Our team brings deep experience in life sciences, retail, government, and financial services. We tailor approaches to the realities of each sector and avoid common pitfalls.

Technology-Enabled Solutions

We apply analytics, AI, and simple digital tools to sharpen insight, speed up planning, and maintain control without adding unnecessary complexity.

Global Perspective

We support cross-border deals and understand regulatory and cultural considerations. Plans respect local requirements while staying connected to the global intent.
