The Team

Our M&A team offers expert guidance to corporate and private equity clients in navigating complex growth and divestiture scenarios. Our services encompass 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 across several services through evaluating technology systems and operations of companies, identifying potential risks, and helping ensure IT is a successful enabler for an M&A transaction. Each service has a focus across an organization's people, process, applications and infrastructure, and incorporates unique industry considerations. Product tech diligence helps our clients by reviewing proprietary technology products, cyber security, initial carve out/standup requirements and initial integration/separation planning requirements. This is done through an integrated platform which more clearly checks the alignment of the deal macros with our clients' investment theses, focuses on the foundational maturity of the target company, brings more value creation concepts to the diligence effort, and applies a metrics-driven perspective.
