Mergers & Acquisition
A properly thought out and prepared for M&A can be an exciting and a
rewarding quick path for growth and success.
It
can also be one the most frustrating and costly mistakes
any
company can make if not thoroughly thought out.
We should be involved from the very beginning. Reviewing your objectives;
developing the criteria your targets must meet to be acceptable (these
must
be in line with your internal corporate goals and objectives); develop and
pursue a
plan for securing the interest of the targets and then the process of
negotiating:
being sure the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted by coordinating the
legal, financial,
accounting, regulatory and other concerned parties; and then the process
of integrating
the two companies into an synergistic model of success.
We should be involved in as many of these functions as is logical from
day one. Of course
most of the heavy lifting is on your internal team, but it is of great
value to have
guidance for those who have been there and done that.
Our assistance and expertise cross borders and can facilitate situations
where the acquiring company can be either Chinese or Western. We can
equally help a Chinese firm find a compatible and symbiotic target in the
West and assist in the process and post M&A monitoring and assistance.
And, we are well suited to assist the Western company find suitable
targets in China and to be the eyes and ears on the ground both pre and
post
M&A.

on both sides of the merger/acquisition. Our seasoned consultants, having

potentially reduce costs. Our experience also supports augmenting
