Divestiture strategy and execution

Companies are honing their divestiture strategies to streamline operating models so they can pivot quickly toward growth opportunities.

We help corporate and private equity clients to evaluate their divestiture strategy, manage their portfolio, improve divestment value and grow their remaining business. Our divestiture strategy team helps businesses identify corporate divestiture candidates and monetize through carve-outs, spin-offs and sales of the entire company, tax-free spin-offs or joint ventures.  We drive value through governance, tax strategy, the preparation of deal-basis and carve-out financial information and through all aspects of operational separation. Finally, we help clients understand the remaining company’s cost structure, while identifying opportunities for top-line growth.
