Clients

Our clients include family-owned companies, international groups and financial investors. In this process we concentrate on small and mid-cap transactions. Our clients benefit from our expertise in the successful implementation of complex M&A transactions in combination with the extensive, cross-border competence of a consulting firm with global operations.

Scope of services

The condition for the successful conclusion of a transaction is an exact understanding of the objectives of our clients. On the basis of these objectives we elaborate an individual process strategy together with the client.

Company disposals

For company disposals we take on the complete project management of the complex M&A process.

In close consultation with our clients, we coordinate all of the important transaction steps including:

Elaboration of the sales strategy and definition of the transaction structure
Development of a bidding competition
Documentation and implementation.

We ensure a tight process management under consideration of the required flexibility at critical moments.

Our clients benefit from a greater degree of transaction security and maximisation of value through generation of momentum, transparency and competitive pressure among the interested parties. The Rödl & Partner offices in Europe, Asia and North and South America enable quick access to decision makers in a global purchasing universe.

Company acquisitions

For company acquisitions we enable a tight and goal-oriented project management including strategy elaboration and transaction structuring up to conclusion of the acquisition. Individual consultation regarding the target, an exact analysis and a coordinated and astute approach ensure the success of the project.

Interdisciplinary services

Depending on the requirements, for the purpose of establishing the appropriate legal and tax structuring of the transaction, in the course of due diligence or with special valuation questions, further experts from Rödl & Partner are included.
