Joint Ventures, Mergers & Partnerships


More and more companies are looking to merge or build partnerships as a precursor to a sale or acquisition.
Share-for-share mergers are often seen as a way for both companies to benefit from greater critical mass or enhanced skill sets to offer clients greater resources – with a mutual intent to sell at a later stage.
Strategic partnerships are a valuable step to working closely with others, to ensure your clients get best-in-class resources. Often, successful partnerships lead to successful sales or acquisitions.
