South and Wales Mergers and Acquisitions
Relationships and local market knowledge underpin insightful advice
The South & Wales M&A team comprises over 20 professionals specialising in M&A who work with clients throughout the region from offices in Bristol, Cardiff and Reading. We have expertise in transacting and providing corporate finance advice across all industries. We work with a wide range of clients on acquisitions and disposals, management buy-outs and management buy-ins, debt and equity fund raisings, long-term business planning and strategic projects.
Relationships are the heart of what we do
Strong relationships, combined with deep local market knowledge and connections, are the cornerstones of the team’s capabilities to support clients and assess the right opportunities for them.
Our clients include public and private companies, shareholders, management teams, owner-managers, entrepreneurs and private equity houses and we support them on a wide range of corporate finance transactions, from deal origination through to execution. Our team is renowned for unlocking and maximising shareholder value.
Increasingly, we are working on client mandates for business planning and situational strategic advice, including succession planning, management incentivising plans, solving shareholder disputes, and assisting with improvement strategies for stressed or loss-making businesses.
Our work is based on building long-term relationships, irrespective of whether a transaction is planned. We are proud to have helped several clients navigate through this recent period of uncertainty and we’re committed to and look forward to meeting and working with many more businesses in the future.
