We are specialists in all aspects of capturing value from mergers and acquisitions.  
This includes identification of potential value (M&A synergy estimation), pre-merger
planning, and post merger integration.   

We have been involved in literally hundreds of M&A's and post merger integrations.  
Our expertise saves you time by giving you access to M&A and integration best
practices.  And when there is no 'perfect answer,' we can give you the pros and cons
of different approaches, and recommend the best ones for your situation.

We won't waste your time telling you that most mergers fail -- instead we will help you
make your deal a success.

Here is how we can help along the entire deal lifecycle:

Pre-deal:    We can help you determine the value of a potential deal by helping identify and
value synergies.  We have a great deal of experience on what synergies are likely to be
captured and how long they will take to capture.  We can also help refine your valuation of the
deal by assessing the identified deal synergies.  

Most companies wait too long to begin post merger integration planning.  We can help you
jumpstart the integration so that you are ready to hit the ground running on Day 1.

Not sure if you are ready to tackle a merger integration?  We can provide you with a quick
"Readiness Assessment" which will examine your capabilities and planned approach, and
which will identify gaps between what you have in place and what you will need for a successful
deal.


Post-deal.    We can help with the entire integration process.  We have seen virtually every
approach to merger integration, and can advise you as to which is best for you.  Post merger
integration is both an art and a science.  Our expertise can save you considerable time and
money by helping you separate the two so as not to reinvent the wheel (on the science) while
customizing the elements of the process that are unique to your situation (the art).

All of these services can be provided on a completely variable cost fee basis.  There is no
need to sign up for expensive project based support.  Because we have seen so many deals
and merger integrations it is likely that we can begin providing advice to you right away.
