Corporate/M&A: High-end Capability

About

Provided by ADVANT Altana

ADVANT Altana works hand-in-hand with clients to provide strategic advice and tailor-made services that effectively navigate the complex dynamics of deal-making, whether for buyers, sellers, or investors.

We have significant expertise advising on hundreds of transactions involving both private and listed companies, as well as joint ventures, minority or majority stakes, and management or leveraged buyouts. 

We also advise clients regarding de-mergers, distressed transactions, or acquisitions (such as those implemented through Court proceedings or restructuring arrangements), as well as public or contentious takeovers.

Our deal-making experience spans a wide array of sectors, including those which are highly regulated or in an environment of innovation, such as technology and digital media, banking and finance, retail and leisure, mobility, industrials, energy, life sciences and healthcare, private clients, and real estate.

Our M&A work for clients also regularly involves related issues such as the development of long-term incentivization programs, the issuance of bonds or other financial instruments, solving data or IP-related challenges, assisting with private equity and venture capital investment or exit, and handling competition-based regulatory scrutiny as well as foreign direct investment control.
