Mergers & Acquisitions

PALAZZO brings a unique perspective to the M&A process. Whether you’re considering growth through acquisition or a sale in order to monetize the value of your brand, we have the expertise to effectively manage both the process and outcome.

Sell-side counsel

What differentiates us from our competitors is our ability to identify prospective buyers that share the seller’s goals about its business, its work, and above all, its people, knowing this inevitably leads to a more satisfying experience as the seller evolves from an ownership position.

Our work includes:

• Collaborating with sellers on properly positioning and presenting the firm to potential acquirers, creating descriptive materials that accurately merchandise the firm’s competitive strengths.
• Thoroughly researching the buyer community, seeking prospects tailored to the needs and interests of the seller.
• Managing a highly confidential, select auction process designed to generate offers from pre-qualified buyers.
• Negotiation of all deal terms, contracts and agreements.

Our goal is to maximize value and wealth for owners, to ensure a successful outcome.

Buy-side counsel

PALAZZO works with acquirers to identify prospective firms that meet their strategic goals. Once we have identified potential acquisition candidates, we leverage our marketing services expertise to do an in-depth analysis of the prospect firm’s strengths and weaknesses, focusing on the firm’s competitive position.

Our buy-side services include:

• Valuing the prospect’s business.
• Structuring a mutually satisfactory offer.
• Negotiating all transaction terms through deal closing.
