What we do

Four practices, run by the same partners, so a sale, a fund and a raise can be planned as one.

M&A Services

Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Governance

Valuation, due diligence, deal structure and negotiation, from the first approach to the day the two companies run as one.

Read moreShow less

Valuation of the business or a product line, strategic and financial plans, and financial models a board can decide on.

Due diligence and market research, deal structuring and negotiation. Exit planning for divestitures, IPOs and buyouts, and post-merger integration of teams, systems and reporting.

Around the deal: debt restructuring, tax structuring, risk and cash-flow management, board advisory and regulatory compliance.

Corporate Innovation

AI Adoption, Corporate Ventures & Technology Acquisition

For companies deciding which technologies to build, buy or partner on, and how to turn R&D and startups into revenue.

Read moreShow less

Technology strategy: foresight and roadmaps, an honest look at the company's technical capabilities, and the right route to new technology: in-house R&D, licensing, joint development or acquisition.

AI adoption: picking the use cases that pay, deciding build or buy, and setting the data and model rules that let AI move past pilots. Sector experience in fintech and payments, cybersecurity, cloud and automation.

Corporate venturing: designing CVC units and startup studios, open innovation and venture-client programmes, managing the innovation portfolio, and using incentives such as Iran's Knowledge-Based Production Leap Law.

Investment Banking

Capital Raising: Equity, Debt & Structured Financing

Independent advice on raising money: preparing the company, designing the financing and running the process with investors, banks and lenders.

Read moreShow less

Equity from private placements to IPO readiness, debt financing and refinancing, and project and structured finance. We build the financial model, the information memorandum and the investor materials.

Then we approach investors and lenders, compare term sheets, support the negotiation and stay until closing. We are advisers, not a bank: we do not underwrite securities or hold client money.
