Firms that opt to grow inorganically can create immediate value and expand their wings to bigger markets through mergers and acquisitions. Although, this is the fastest way to modify portfolio and grow, not all types of growth can drive sustained outcomes. If not properly aligned with the corporate strategy, this move can deteriorate the business value due to potential risks, additional debt, upfront cost or other challenges. Whether you are buy-side or sell-side, we guide you through these transformative & multifaceted corporate decisions.

At Devon, we think that capabilities-driven deals is the optimum way to leverage the buyer’s competitive advantage. We support clients through every stage of the transaction lifecycle including:

• Client Readiness Assessment—internal capabilities, resources and skill sets required to maximize value.
• Target Identification by implementing a diagnostic and benchmark program for target companies that meet your parameters to ensure strategic fit.
• Due Diligence by assessing the risks and opportunities incorporated into the transaction from a financial, commercial and operational perspective to provide early visibility to hidden synergies.
• Post-Merger Integration by establishing Integration Management Office (IMO) to operationalizing the deal and bridging critical gaps in resources and expertise resulting in a combined entity with a single view on value.
