Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A advice is the primary focus of our firm. We advise our clients
on acquisitions, mergers, sales and divestitures, spin-offs, split-offs and
subsidiary IPOs. We also provide fairness and valuation opinions as well
as advice on takeover defense, recapitalizations, joint ventures and management
buyouts.
We provide a full array of M&A advisory services to public and private
companies including valuation, transaction structuring, deal strategy
and tactics, negotiation and due diligence. We seek the best outcome for our clients, even if our advice results in our
client deciding not to proceed with a transaction.
Sagent is structured to serve a broad spectrum of corporate and private
equity clients. We consider ourselves to be an investment banking boutique with "bulge bracket"
M&A capabilities. As illustrated under Selected Major Transactions,
our senior bankers have been involved in many of the largest and most complex
transactions completed on Wall Street. However, we also pride ourselves
on our ability to deliver the same capabilities and senior attention to clients
with transactions as small as $50 million. If a matter is of importance to
our client, it is important to us. In addition, the experience of our bankers
— across industries and sectors — is as broad as it is deep.
The breadth of this experience is illustrated under Industry Expertise.
Our Sale & Divestiture Group is the equal of any on Wall Street.
Our senior professionals established and built the industry’s leading exclusive
sales effort during their tenures at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.
We are equally proud of our ability to develop proprietary M&A ideas
for our corporate and private equity clients. Our Strategic Opportunities Group
specializes in uncovering profitable growth opportunities for clients beyond
what’s available in broad "auction" processes.
