Merger and Acquisition Due Diligence is Paramount

Buyer Beware: there are no secrets from us.  Merger and acquisition due diligence is an essential tool in “looking under the hood.”  Whether it’s a merger of industry giants, the integration of two smaller businesses, or a potential JV, you have an absolute need to validate your assumptions.  We will ensure you have a deep understanding of the opportunities, risks, and implications for accretion before the deal goes through. Reliance on hearsay statements is not allowed in the law, and therefore, ill-advised to accept third party “guarantees.”

An essential part of any merger and acquisition due diligence investigation is to examine the “fit.” What’s the target company’s client mix? Competitive positioning in its market? Potential to affect the value of the combined enterprise? The answers demand primary qualitative and quantitative research into the organization under consideration.
