Business Combinations, Mergers & Acquisitions

Advising clients in business acquisitions, dispositions, combinations, and mergers requires highly specialized professional service capabilities. Predictably, these capabilities are typically within the exclusive domain of the largest international professional service firms and are limited to large business client engagements.
