Mergers & Acquisitions
Berkery Noyes provides skilled transaction management to publicly traded and privately held businesses and private equity groups in both sell-side and buy-side transactions. We have managed transactions ranging from several million to more than four billion dollars in value, with an emphasis on transactions of $50 million to $500 million in value.
Sell Side Advisory: Berkery Noyes represents sellers of privately-held businesses and corporate clients seeking to divest business units or assets. In the sell-side advisory role, we achieve maximum pricing for our clients through our ability to identify and communicate the underlying value drivers in the business; our awareness of the operating strategies of each potential buyer; our assertive control of the auction process; our hands-on management of due diligence; and skillful negotiation. If the company is not ideally positioned to garner maximum value, we'll recommend steps an owner can take before going to market that can lead to a higher value in an eventual sale.
We also recognize that, while price is an important consideration, the seller's objectives are rarely limited to price alone. Every owner has personal and professional goals that can't be measured in dollars, and each serves a community of stakeholders whose interests matter. Every sell-side assignment begins with a clear articulation of the client’s goals, and ends only when those objectives are met and the client’s expectations exceeded.
Buy Side Representation: Berkery Noyes works with large and midsize companies to achieve their growth objectives and gain competitive advantage through strategic acquisitions. We identify potential targets, construct comprehensive financial and integration models, develop corporate financing solutions, and negotiate on our client’s behalf to a successful outcome.
Valuation: Knowledge of a client’s market, competitive position, key value drivers, and growth potential are essential to determining the true market value of a business or asset.
