Growth by alternatives to Mergers and Acquisitions
Our team recognises the need for clients to not only grow existing market shares, but to also expand in emerging markets.
Our team recognises the need for clients to not only grow existing market shares, but to also expand in emerging markets.
As the economic landscape shifts in response to the recent global crisis, international enterprises are continually looking for innovative ways to grow their market share or broaden their routes to market to realise their strategic goals.
Our team recognises the need for clients to not only grow existing market shares, but to also expand in emerging markets. We support our clients by advising them on the best and most efficient ways of doing this.
We understand that sometimes a traditional M&A transaction is not a feasible or suitable way of meeting a commercial goal. Our corporate team has market-leading experience in acting for international corporates, assisting them with optimising their strategy and expansion by using structures which are alternative to M&A transactions. We have helped our clients to strengthen their position in the market in which they operate and to find routes to new markets via distribution agreements, investing in minority interests to seek strategic advantage, cross-border licensing agreements, equity co-investments, franchising arrangements and joint venture arrangements. We consider any issues and challenges at the outset to ensure that opportunities are maximised whilst mitigating risks.
Our corporate practice is supported by global teams of market-leading tax, real estate, employment and incentives, pensions, anti-trust/competition, regulatory and litigation experts as well as teams offering the full range of finance support including all aspects of banking, capital markets and restructuring transactions.
