The Team

Our M&A team provides expert guidance to corporate and private equity clients navigating complex growth and divestiture scenarios. Our comprehensive services include M&A strategy and transaction diligence, integration and separation planning and execution, as well as transaction financing.

Within M&A strategy and transaction diligence, our IT and product tech diligence specialists focus on the value creation potential of each transaction and its inherent operational risks. The Deloitte IT diligence practice executes several services by evaluating technology systems and operations, identifying potential risks, and ensuring IT is a successful enabler for M&A transactions. Each service focuses across an organization's people, process, applications, and infrastructure, incorporating unique industry considerations. Product tech diligence specifically assists clients by reviewing proprietary technology products, cybersecurity, initial carve-out/standup requirements, and initial integration/separation planning requirements. This is achieved through an integrated platform that more clearly aligns deal macros with clients' investment theses, emphasizes the foundational maturity of the target company, brings more value creation concepts to the diligence effort, and applies a metrics-driven perspective.
