Value creation
We tailor our approach to each transaction, building M&A programs around growth opportunities and the client's prior experience. Our integrated, market-tested approach links acquisition strategy, diligence and merger integration.
Our experience lets us distinguish transactions that create value and growth from those that do not.
Collaboration
We work with clients as a single team, from strategy development and partner selection through operational implementation. The emphasis is on credible alliances, transactions structured correctly from the outset, a shared vision and a clear understanding of mutual economics.
Both sides of the table
We act for one side on any transaction. Advising both sellers and buyers across the market means we understand how the other side thinks.
Sell-side
Buy-side
Our process
We agree the strategic rationale, valuation expectations, perimeter and timetable before work begins.
We prepare information materials and build a screened, confidential list of counterparties.
We manage outreach, negotiations, due diligence and the drafting of transaction documents.
We coordinate advisers and conditions through to signing, completion and integration support.
Transaction types
Cross-border M&A
Many of our mandates cross a border. With our base in Istanbul and strategic partners in Munich, Milan, Vienna, Athens, Lisbon, Tel Aviv and New York, we work on both sides of the corridor.
Outbound
Finding and acquiring businesses, brands, technology or capacity in Europe, the United States and the wider region, with local partners on the ground.
Inbound
Helping strategic buyers and funds acquire, partner with or invest in Turkish companies, and navigate local practice, regulation and relationships.
Questions
It depends on the business and the market, but a well-prepared sale typically takes several months from preparation to signing, with completion following once approvals and conditions are met.
Reliable financial statements, a credible business plan, and clarity on what is being sold and why. We help assemble the materials and anticipate the questions buyers will ask.
Buyers are approached selectively, sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving information, and see sensitive details only at later stages. Many processes run under a project name.
Through our own relationships, sector research and our partner network, screened against the client's criteria and approached only with the client's approval.
Yes. Our debt finance practice can arrange the financing for an acquisition alongside the M&A work.
