Complex M & A

Like distressed M & A situations, complex M & A activity requires a skill set beyond conventional M & A transactions. Gordian Group is regularly engaged in M & A transactions involving complicated scenarios. The two most common complex circumstances include:

• "Story" businesses that require expertise in communicating the essence of the business in order to maximize value for the seller.

• Previously flawed sale processes requiring special expertise to augment or replace in-place investment bankers.

Gordian has been honored by Mergers & Acquisitions magazine as the recipient of the "Midmarket Deal of the Year Award for 2000" in connection with its role in the complex transaction involving the sale of Ben & Jerry's to Unilever S.A.
