For an owner-managed business, a sale or acquisition is often the most consequential decision it will ever make, and for many owners it happens only once. IPG's M&A advisers work mainly with private companies and the mid-market, where a transaction is as much about people, timing and legacy as it is about valuation.
Members help owners prepare a business for sale, find buyers and targets abroad, advise on valuation and deal structure, and manage due diligence through to completion. On the buy side, they help clients understand what they are really acquiring in an unfamiliar market, from the quality of earnings to the local customs that shape how a deal is negotiated.
Cross-border deals are where the network is most visible. A single transaction can need corporate lawyers, tax advisers and accountants in two or three jurisdictions at once. Within IPG, those advisers are often already part of the conversation and already used to working together. That saves time, avoids duplication and gives the client one coordinated team.
