PM+M’s corporate finance team advised on the structure of the transaction, including the treatment of associated liabilities and the implementation of a ‘locked box’ sale mechanism, which is somewhat unique for a traditional Partnership but made the deal work, thereby ensuring the client’s interests were protected and the deal price was preserved. The team supported the financial due diligence process, managing and resolving communication issues with the buyer and providing practical, timely solutions to address challenges as they arose. Acting as project managers, they coordinated all parties, maintained momentum and ensure key milestones were met, while also providing strategic guidance to anticipate and mitigate potential risks. The team ultimately helped deliver a smooth, efficient process, enabling the client to achieve a successful sale within the required timeframe.
