Mergers & Acquisitions

The Finley Group provides experience and responsiveness to both buyers and sellers in merger and acquisition transactions.

The Finley Group brings the experience and operational expertise from hundreds of advisory engagements to understand our clients’ businesses.  We analyze the strategic advantages our client brings to a prospective buyer.  We work closely with our clients throughout the entire sale process, providing turnkey transactional services that maximize the value of the transaction.  Our services include:

  • Preparing the solicitation memorandum
  • Spearheading and managing the due diligence process
  • Negotiating with potential purchasers
  • Structuring the transaction
  • Closing the transaction

The Finley Group frequently represents acquisition-minded clients, and our operational focus allows us to critically determine the best strategic fit for our clients.  We have the resources to understand our client’s business and are adept at identifying potential issues and clarifying objectives and expectations. 
The Finley Group’s merger and acquisition services are, at times, provided and conducted under §363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The environment of bankruptcy proceedings and the specific challenges of orchestrating an effective §363 auction process can be daunting – a process that requires a unique blend of skill sets.  The Finley Group’s combination of operational expertise and value-added investment banking solutions creates a solution that maximizes the transactional value to all parties.
