Mergers and Acquisitions
Merger, acquisition, divestiture and partnering opportunities are significant milestones in the life cycle of any company and for its owners or prospective owners. The financial, organizational, managerial and strategic problems which they pose are different from the usual operating problems of any management. Solutions to these new problems can be very complex. Bentley's team of senior professionals have broad experience in assisting clients in all aspects of the merger and acquisition process. We participate with clients from the earliest stage of helping to define objectives and the identification and search for potential candidate companies through the contact and negotiating phase and finally on to the successful closing of a transaction.
Acquisitions, sales, and divestitures, equity investments, and strategic alliances all involve careful planning and execution. Based upon our extensive experience working with both private and public companies, our professionals are sensitive to the different techniques that are most helpful in achieving successful transactions. Bentley's professionals maintain a wide range of valuable contacts both domestically and internationally, within the financial community and throughout industry. Having worked with many large corporations while members at major Wall Street firms, we are especially skilled at representing middle market companies in dealing with these larger companies as potential acquirors or strategic partners.
Bentley Associates serves its client companies solely as a financial advisor, and not as a principal. We believe that there is an inherent conflict of interest in having a firm both advise on a transaction and invest in that same transaction. Accordingly, our professionals work solely as financial advisors to our clients, with their only goal being to maximize the accomplishment of the clients' objectives.
