M&A AND STRATEGIC TRANSACTIONS

Understand what you're really buying.

​

An acquisition is more than a financial transaction.

​

The value of an enterprise can be affected by its relationships with governments, regulators, communities, Indigenous Peoples, employees, investors, customers, competitors and other stakeholders.

​

Convergent brings a strategic, corporate affairs, and government-relations lens to transactions to help identify issues that may not be immediately apparent through conventional financial or operational due diligence.

​

Transaction support can include:

• External-environment assessments

• Government and regulatory risk analysis

• Stakeholder mapping

• Reputational risk assessment

• Political and jurisdictional risk analysis

• Identification of potential transaction obstacles

• Post-acquisition stakeholder considerations

• Strategic advice surrounding market entry and expansion

• Assessment of issues that could affect enterprise value

 

The goal is simple: discover and prepare for potential problems before they become part of the deal.
