Merger & Acquisition (M&A) Services

Driving value across the deal lifecycle

Most executives go into a M&A deal confident they’ll be successful. But research tells a different story. About half of acquisitions, mergers and divestitures deteriorate—rather than build—shareholder value.

What makes for successful deals? Is it the experience of the team? Bench-strength? Financial acumen? Discipline? The answer is all of the above.

Deloitte is the only professional services firm that can advise corporate buyers and private equity investors throughout the entire M&A deal lifecycle. From conceiving strategy to selecting the right partner. From conducting thorough due diligence to closing the deal. From beginning to end, we align our services to address your transactional and integration needs, all with the goal of building value for our clients. To learn more about M&A content that aligns to the deal lifecycle, visit our M&A Library.
