Mergers and Acquisitions
Business today is under more pressure than ever to deliver better, lasting results for stakeholders. Investors are looking for purchase of a company or business segment to increase the size of their company, create synergy and/or achieve higher sales figures.
The decision to embark upon a M&A transaction is not one to be taken lightly. Whether pursuing a merger or acquisition, or considering a disposal or divestiture, the complexities of a M&A transaction require careful planning and execution.

Selling a Business
Leading companies consider divestments as fundamental to their business strategy – they focus on selling assets in the same rigorous way they focus on acquisitions. These companies often carve out or spin off a business unit and redeploy capital raised to strengthen their core business and reinvest in high-growth areas.
Family-owned companies may sell their business to comfortably fund retirement, to support future generations or to find a partner who will protect the legacy of the business. And middle-market businesses and private equity firms also sell entire companies to monetize their investment.
When it comes to selling a business, a successful strategy requires active portfolio management and a well-planned divestment process. RW’s team of specialists guides you through your divestiture, from developing an exit strategy to optimizing the value of your retained business.
We help clients evaluate the potential risks and rewards of a divestiture, realize value, prepare them to executive the deal with minimal business disruptions, reach their strategic goals and optimize their portfolio.
