Deloitte's M&A Advisory and Transaction Support team provide
specialist support to in-house M&A teams. This offering focuses on
providing specialist sector and transaction advice to larger corporates,
helping to successfully deliver clients' M&A strategies.
The team provides an alternative approach to delivering M&A
services, tailored to the in-house team's needs. The client retains
ownership of the transaction process but benefits from the comfort of
lead advisory expertise and experience when required, and the ability to
utilise selected services as required. Clients also benefit from the
Deloitte team's deal experience, marketing skills and gain access to
Deloitte's global and local network and sector expertise.
This can be particularly suited to complex transactions or where an
in-house team is managing multiple processes. Deloitte offers both
heavy-lifting and added value services from hands-on senior
professionals.
