>> INDUSTRIES: Mining & Metals | Explosives | Construction | O&G

Mining & Metals, Explosives, Construction and O&G are highly technical-content industries. When it comes to enter a M&A process, due diligence becomes critical for assessing the stability and validity of the acquired company’s technology capabilities. There, specialization and technical insight turn to be key assets for the success of the potential transaction and also to create the framework by which to develop transition plans.

 Considering the specificity of the Mining & Metals, Explosives, Construction and O&G industries, we experienced as being particularly critical:

 1. A comprehensive understanding of the market which includes:
* Market growth and drivers
* Key companies
* Operating margins
* Pricing trends
* Role of services
* Market fragmentation

 2. A specialized legal background including:
* Regulation / standard / safety
* Contracts and securities
* Intellectual property (patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks)

3. Proven audit and prospective analysis capabilities

4. Reputation and respect amongst the industry

 Thanks to that unique combination of expertise and experience, we regularly serve as an advisor for the banking sector and for private equity firms.
