Unfair Advantage
We help our clients create a competitive advantage in transactions by seeking, uncovering, and exploiting unique sources of value that change opportunities and outcomes.
Some Examples Include:
Imaginative Research
While engaged in a highly-contested hostile takeover, we went deep into our client’s archives and read its original nineteenth-century Articles of Incorporation. We discovered an overlooked provision that stymied the potential acquirer and enabled the Board to negotiate a much higher price than first proposed.
Unique Work Product
For a telecom client, we built an unprecedented industry spreadsheet disaggregating nearly 80,000 separate customer accounts, circuit connections, and addresses (in multiple languages), providing the essential foundation for appropriate valuation and the logical division of assets.
Complexity Management
We designed a precedent-setting three-way communications merger/partnership between an American teleservices company, a Russian regional gas company, and a Hong Kong equipment supplier.
Opinions that Count
In our valuation opinion for the acquisition of OI Corporation by ITT, we supplied the first-ever use and publication of a Monte Carlo valuation analysis in a public merger proxy statement.
