M&A Advisory
A systematic and comprehensive approach to transactions
Structuring
Within the commercial framework of a transaction, a wide range of financing and structuring options are possible. Our familiarity with cross border deal structures helps focus on the most effective options to maximise value creation for our clients.
Our activities involve:
- analysing the strategic implication of transactions
- structuring the transaction to ensure the most effective long term benefits for both parties
- structuring payment terms to ensure the best valuation for all parties
- ensuring effective tax and exchange rate management within the relevant regulatory framework
Negotiation
We understand that effective time and resource management is critical to the successful completion of a transaction. We manage the negotiation process towards closure by setting and monitoring the timetable, taking each step forward towards completion and liaising closely with the other parties involved in the transaction.
Valuation
Valuations constitute a significant part of any transaction process, be it in the nature of an acquisition, divestiture, joint venture, merger, de-merger or the setting up of a new operation. Langham will evaluate the deal and provide a valuation range using variables from both macro and micro levels.
- doing an 'as is' valuation of the business
- determining the right price to pay or accept for the business
- determining the capital structure of a transaction
- determining the earn out element of the valuation
Documentation
Legal documentation is integral for any business transaction or alliance. We help clients in preparing documents at all stages including Non Disclosure Agreements, Letters of Intent and definitive transaction documents.
