Merger, Integrations & Carve-outs

Organizations undergoing major transitions — mergers and buy- and sell-side carve-outs — need transaction support that mitigates risk, helps minimize business disruption and accelerates the evolution to the new company operating model. At many of the world’s top-performing public and private companies, senior executives (heads of corporate development and strategy, chief financial officers and chief integration officers in charge of a transaction and the requisite integration of corporate entities) rely on FTI Consulting for transaction support and advisory to complete the deal successfully, efficiently and without delay.
