Structuring Transactions That Work for Both Sides
The headline price is only part of a deal. Earn-outs, deferred payments, shareholder loans, vendor financing and governance rights decide what each party actually receives and what risk it carries. We model those mechanics so you can negotiate with a clear view of the consequences.
What we cover
- Acquisitions and disposals - valuation ranges, deal mechanics and the financing of the purchase price.
- Joint ventures - contribution valuation, profit sharing, funding obligations and exit mechanics.
- Complex financing arrangements - combinations of debt, equity and hybrid instruments across companies or jurisdictions.
- Negotiation support - scenario models that show the effect of each proposed term in real time.
How we work
- Understand both sides' objectives and constraints.
- Model the transaction and its alternatives.
- Test the structure under downside scenarios.
- Support negotiations and the handover to legal documentation.
Important
We advise on the financial structure; legal and tax structuring is done together with your lawyers and tax advisers. We do not act as a broker or arrange financial instruments.
Questions clients ask
Do you work for buyers or sellers?
Either, but never for both sides of the same transaction.
Can you join a deal that is already in negotiation?
Yes. We can model the proposed terms and alternatives within days.
