Mergers and Acquisitions are major change events for any organisation. A merger is a combination of two companies to form a new company, while an acquisition is the purchase of one company by another with no new company being formed. A divestiture is a transaction whereby one entity spins off or sells part of its activity. A restructuring may involve a reorganisation of activities, selling parts of a business, combining one activity with another and so on.

Getting the maximum possible value from M&A transactions means having professional advice throughout the process, from evaluating targets and associated costs to creating and implementing the strategies that knit the organisations together in the whole transaction.
