Management Buyouts

We possess considerable experience and expertise in representing management teams seeking to acquire the companies they operate as non-owners, or third-party management teams that wish to acquire a targeted company within their area of expertise.

We assist our clients in:

• Negotiating exclusive rights to bid for or buy the companies they operate


• Advising management on all key economic terms, including valuation, form of acquisition consideration, optimal capital structure and management economic benefits


• Identifying senior debt, subordinated debt, private equity or other financing sources to partner with management in acquiring a target


• Assisting management in the preparation of offering material and presentations


• Managing a competitive capital raise process designed to provide transaction certainty, and to provide our clients with the best possible economic package and a satisfactory resolution of governance issues


• Closing the transaction between management and financing sources, as well as the MBO transaction closing

We actively participate in raising debt capital for all types of transactions. In addition to our knowledge of private equity sources, their structures, the industries they focus on, the criteria they apply in selecting portfolio companies, and their history in dealing with their portfolio investments are among the most important drivers of our success.

Our team includes a former partner in a private equity firm and the former head of a merchant bank, among others.
