Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory

Berkery Noyes provides skilled transaction management to publicly traded and privately held businesses and private equity groups in both sell-side and buy-side transactions. We have managed transactions ranging from several million to more than four billion dollars in value.

Sell Side Advisory: Berkery Noyes represents sellers of privately-held businesses and corporate clients seeking to divest business units or assets. In the sell-side advisory role, clients rely upon our ability to identify and communicate the underlying value drivers in the business; our awareness of the operating strategies of each potential buyer; our assertive control of the auction process; our hands-on management of due diligence; and skillful negotiation. If the company is not ideally positioned to garner maximum value, we’ll recommend steps an owner can take before going to market that can lead to a higher value in an eventual sale.

We also recognize that, while price is an important consideration, the seller’s objectives are rarely limited to price alone. Every owner has personal and professional goals that can’t be measured in dollars, and each serves a community of stakeholders whose interests matter.

Buy Side Representation: Berkery Noyes works with companies to achieve their growth objectives. We categorize potential targets, construct  financial and integration models, develop corporate financing solutions, and negotiate on our client’s behalf.
