Data driven expert advisory solutions to support investor relations, corporate boards, executives, and corporate secretaries during public takeovers , mergers, activism attacks and special situations

Our global M&A and special situations teams advise executives on friendly and hostile transactions to support them in tactical and strategic decisions to achieve market support. Our team helps identify vulnerabilities and risks based on clients’ unique ownership structures. We use our data driven market intelligence to project investor behaviour, advise on shareholder movements and acceptance levels, we track beneficial owners and their tender behaviour as well as monitor lending and short lending levels.

In contentious campaigns our team leverages direct relationship to the buy side, including merger arbs, hedge funds, trading desks to understand market sentiment and support levels. We understand research signals, index composition dependencies, retail ownership impact and cost base to project transaction outcome and advise executives and their deal teams on tactical and strategic decisions in order to engage with the correct stakeholders in the right form, at the right time.
