Managing the transaction

You need a clear understanding of every aspect of a transaction — whether it is an M&A growth strategy, complex transaction, diverse portfolio or opaque holding structure.

Ernst & Young's Transaction Advisory Services team works with you to analyze and articulate the value and risks of a deal so you understand if you have a solid business case for moving forward. We validate the accounting, legal and tax implications of your proposed structure and financing approach to make the most of the transaction. We can help you determine whether your transaction strategy and processes are aligned with your business objectives – and are operating effectively.

Our Transaction Advisory Services help you develop and execute your growth strategy:

Transaction Support and Transaction Tax services: we assist you and your investors with all financial, tax, technology, operational, commercial and legal due diligence matters. We help you understand and manage value and risk throughout the transaction. We can also support you in structuring the deal and managing the deal execution.

M&A advisory, divestitures, spin-offs and carve-outs: we provide strategic insights into portfolio values and options and can help you achieve the growth you seek through your transactions. Whether you are contemplating a buy- or sell-side transaction, we can help you identify, negotiate, structure and close the deal, making sure your transaction and business strategies complement each other.

Transaction integration: we help you blend the financial, tax and legal elements of the transaction, capture the anticipated value, maintain that value and minimize leakage.

Transaction Real Estate: financing and utilizing real estate as an investment tool presents a number of difficult challenges. We help our clients to achieve the potential of their real estate assets, portfolios or companies. In close cooperation with our clients, we develop capital market strategies for acquiring and disposing of real estate assets, including fund concepts or sale and leaseback structures. Wherever our clients are in the world, we help them raise or structure necessary capital, and buy or sell individual properties, property portfolios or equity investments.
