Our approach
Built through our extensive deal experience in the sector, we have relationships with key trade and private equity acquirers in the UK, US and Europe. This allows us to negotiate optimal deals for sellers and acquirers quickly and efficiently.
Throughout the transaction process, we act as an extension of your team and support you through the full journey from strategic decision making to deal completion.
When a deal has been agreed, we identify the commercial and financial value of the transaction, including key issues. So, we either proactively mitigate risks when acting for sellers, or recommend pragmatic solutions to protect acquirers when acting on the buy-side.
Our fully integrated offering of corporate finance, tax and accountancy services is delivered under one roof by our technology sector experts. This way, we ensure you get advice on initial tax structuring, diligence risks and available tax reliefs from the start.
