blurred team at work

Our sector expertise is core to the value proposition of our M&A offering. We have developed this sector-leading capability across commercial aerospace & general aviation; space capabilities & systems; federal IT & government services; defense systems & technology; and disruptive technologies & business models.

We have experience in over 1,000 diligence projects over 20 years, and we are differentiated by tight coupling with our strategy consulting capability. Our M&A advice is grounded in transaction judgement and the ability to evaluate a clear thesis for either strategic fit and synergies with a buyer, or strategic growth as a platform.

Our M&A evaluation scopes are broad and include a combination of market, business plan, competitive positioning, technology assessment, financial analysis, synergy identification, and operational assessment. Post-close, we advise on merger integration, go-to-market, and ongoing growth strategy.
