There has been long standing drive across all the public sector to increase effectiveness through collaboration, meaning anything from a joint venture through shared service agreements to full merger.
Our many years experience of M&A and joint venture activities in the commercial sector have been very much appreciated by our public sector clients. We have helped them to select the best collaboration vehicle, establish appropriate operational and legal structures and manage the transition to avoid disruption and loss of effectiveness.
One of the important benefits we provide is a thorough appreciation of the range of joint business structures that are available, their strengths and weaknesses and appropriateness in different circumstances. We are able to help our clients pick the most suitable to precisely fulfil the business/operational needs of a collaborative opportunity.
Finally we have comprehensive services to support the implementation process, including due diligence reviews, project management, interim cover of functional roles and/or arranging their outsourcing to enable structural changes to be made.
Typical work we have undertaken includes:
- Option appraisals comparing a range of collaboration options
- Financial due diligence on merger parties
- Operational due diligence on merger parties
- Development of merger proposals into business plans
- Support on establishing required legal and governance frameworks
- Project management of merger implementation
- 3rd party assessment of merger processes and outcomes
