 Merger & Acquisition Due Diligence
Traditional M&A due diligence scrutinizes the numbers, both historical and projected. We assess what the leadership team’s capabilities are before closing, and what they will likely be afterward. This not only reduces ROI uncertainty, mitigates risk and clarifies the true market value of the acquisition, it also provides a Human Capital Plan: Who will be a ‘flight risk’ after the deal closes? What will it take to keep him or her? Whom will we want to replace? What will be our exposure with respect to severance agreements?
Such a leadership plan reduces the likelihood that the first months will be in ‘crisis management’ mode.
