Transaction Diligence

Traditional methods of due diligence often focus too narrowly on analysing historical results. Ultimately, these results may not support an organisations value creation plans or help management realise its investment goals. Whether your organisation is the buyer or the seller, you and your stakeholders need to be confident in understanding where the value lies and what the potential risks are.

Our buy-side diligence approach focuses on value drivers that affect a buyer’s purchase price and expected return. We also analyse the principal barriers that can delay or derail a successful deal.

We’re proud to provide financial, IT, operational, HR and commercial due diligence to many of the largest organisations, fastest-growing companies and private equity firms in the market. Working with our industry colleagues, we tailor our integrated approach to fit the unique needs and ecosystem of your organisation to drive transaction success.

Our teams’ signature integrated approach is designed to help you navigate the many considerations that drive and shape transactions:

Buy-side drivers:

• Financial risks
• Synergies
• Operations
• Commercial and strategic rationale

Sell-side drivers:

• Divestiture risks and rewards
• Asset mix: what belongs and what doesn’t
• Business optimization
• Graceful exit while maintaining control of the process

Transaction Tax

Every transaction has tax implications, whether it’s an acquisition or disposal; refinancing or restructuring; or even an initial public offering. Understanding and planning for these implications is essential for mitigating transaction risks and costs, protecting corporate reputation, enhancing opportunity within the deal and uncovering crucial negotiation insights.

By combining diverse cross-border transaction experience with local tax knowledge across a broad range of industry sectors, we help you make informed decisions and navigate the implications of your transaction.

Our local teams employ a consistent approach globally to provide you with a coordinated understanding of the relevant jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary tax issues. And we can suggest structuring alternatives to achieve your commercial objectives, promote exit readiness and help improve prospective earnings or cash flows – raising opportunities for improved returns on your investment.

Our integrated approach means you gain access to high-quality, globally coordinated tax advice, wherever your transaction occurs.
