 MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Leighton-Nielsen effectively combines industry expertise with financial, statistical, economic and market analyses to advise both acquirers and targets which includes companies, investment firms, fiduciaries, venture capital firms and private equity firms, from pre-closing to post-closure M&A processes. We do not simply help companies to transact in a deal. We perform all due diligence, and provide a holistic acquisition strategy and merger integration plan to help create mutual and sustainable benefits for transacting parties on the deal.

Leighton-Nielsen has been engaged on both transactional and advisory matters on complex mergers and acquisitions cases in London, New York, Washington, Singapore and Hong Kong. Till date, we have successfully closed more than 1,200 M&A-related projects.

  • Valuation of Business
    We adopt a unique set of algorithms and formulas to appraise the value of our client’s business, considering historical, present and future market dynamics as well as the profitability, risk, option and flexibility value. We also analyse from the seller’s perspective and perform relevant transaction planning for the sale of our client’s business.

    We review our network to identify a list of suitable potential acquirers. A customised sale strategy is developed to outline how the selling company can position itself favourably for acquirer’s consideration. We also structure the financials and prospects of the selling company to show its best market value.

    We represent our clients to approach potential acquirers to present the selling points. Indicative offers are compiled, and keen acquirers will be connected to our client directly and granted access to our client’s data room for their perusal.
  • Evaluation
    Our legal and finance team will evaluate all the offers and advise our client on the best offer to take.
  • Deal Closure & Post-Merger Integration
    According to the offer, we will assist our client and the acquiring company to complete the necessary transactions pertinent to the deal closure. We will help the acquiring company on the merger integration plan after furnishing the relevant documentation of the transaction to our client.
