We have experience in over 1,000 diligence projects over 20 years, and we are differentiated by tight coupling with our strategy consulting capability. Our M&A advice is grounded in transaction judgement and the ability to evaluate a clear thesis for either strategic fit and synergies with a buyer, or strategic growth as a platform.
