Ardea advises on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, takeover defense, financing for M&A transactions and business recapitalizations.

     At various stages of a business life cycle business owners have to think about whether they should sell the business or bring in a strong partner.  There may be various reasons for such thinking: getting the benefit of new technology, geographic expansion, desire to call it a day etc. 

Finding the right buyer or a good partner or strategic investor and closing the deal takes time and requires specific professional knowledge and experience.  Acquiring, merging or restructuring the business is one of the most important and difficult decisions that business people have to take in their professional life. Often such decisions can give the business a strong impulse but almost as often they may lead to serious problems.  Having support of a trusted and experienced adviser in such situation is extremely important. Ardea can be such adviser having considerable experience with M&A transactions.
