      Mergers, acquisitions and divestments typically raise complex financial, regulatory and operational issues. The acquisition price remains a critical factor for most acquirers and sellers, but dozens of other matters must be managed effectively to prevent value leakage and ensure a successful deal.

      Our experienced advisors help you navigate all the complexities of a transaction, providing clear and actionable advice that delivers tangible results.

      Drawing on KPMG’s global M&A network and dedicated industry groups, our M&A specialists bring sector insight and on‑the‑ground access across leading global hubs and smaller jurisdictions worldwide.  This “boots-on-the-ground” presence makes a big difference in accessing vital market intelligence and ultimately getting the best deal done for each of our clients.
