M&A Advisory

Benefit from hands-on involvement of an experienced, committed advisor and advocate.

As your advocate, our goal is to deliver the best possible outcome for each transaction. Our professionals proactively manage every stage of the process, from identifying financial goals through scrutinizing the details involved in closing the transaction, all while maintaining the highest level of confidentiality and objectivity. We develop active lines of communication with our clients, ensuring that they have sufficient information and guidance to make key decisions throughout the transaction process.

Clients achieve exceptional outcomes as a result of our preparation, market knowledge and proven ability to execute transactions. Collectively, the Amherst team has advised on more than 450 successful domestic and cross-border investment banking transactions exceeding $20 billion in total transaction value. That experience sets us apart, and allows us to craft unique solutions that create value for our clients.
