Transaction Advisory
We provide mergers and acquisitions consulting and business exit advisory for enterprises with significant value at stake. We bring principal-level experience from both sides of the table to maximise value and reduce execution risk.
What We Do
We advise owners, boards and investors on complex transactions where the value at stake is material and the execution is critical. Our senior practitioners have worked on both the buy-side and sell-side, giving us a practical understanding of how counterparties assess value, where transactions lose momentum and what is required to reach an executable outcome on the strongest achievable terms.
Our advice is grounded in the relationship between operational performance and enterprise value. We assess not only the transaction itself, but also the operational, commercial and execution risks that may affect value before and after completion.
We typically work with enterprises valued above US$50 million, including organisations with established boards and existing professional advisors that require independent senior judgement, sector insight and hands-on transaction support.
Our transaction work covers the full lifecycle from preparing a business for sale through to post-acquisition integration and value creation.
Sell-side Advisory
Preparing a business for sale, maximising valuation, identifying and approaching the right buyers, and managing the process through to close.
Buy-side Advisory
Defining acquisition criteria, assessing targets, due diligence, valuation, structuring and deal terms.
Business Exits and Liquidity Events
Supporting owners to prepare for and maximise the value of an exit, with the right timing, structure and buyer.
Post-acquisition Integration
Turning the transaction thesis into operational results through structured integration, performance improvement and the Phoenix Program.
Operational Value Creation Across the Transaction Lifecycle
Our transaction advice is informed by a practical understanding of how operational performance drives enterprise value. Where appropriate, we identify the structural, operational and organisational issues that may reduce value, weaken a transaction or limit post-completion returns.
This allows us to help clients strengthen performance before a sale, assess operational risks and upside during an acquisition, and convert the investment thesis into measurable results after completion. Where implementation is required, the Phoenix Program provides the delivery capability to carry that value creation through integration and beyond.

Asia-specific Transaction Expertise
Exits and acquisitions in our core markets carry regulatory and cultural complexity that generic advisors miss. We bring direct experience of the considerations that matter in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Singapore, and we manage the process accordingly.
Commercial Structure
For ongoing board and advisory work we operate on a retainer basis. For transaction delivery, commercial terms are agreed upfront and structured around the outcome of the mandate.
Track Record
This experience spans diverse sectors and geographies, giving us a clear, commercial view of how value is built, defended and realised in a transaction.
Track Record is current as of June 2026
