Transaction Services

Strategic success can start with a single transaction, be it an acquisition or disposal of a business, a key merger or an assessment of value. Lawler Draper Dillon’s transaction services team can help you across a broad range of strategic disciplines. 

Valuations

The right business or equity valuation provides a key input for financial decision making. Determining value requires more than analysis of the numbers and accordingly we go beyond the financial statements to identify both tangible and intangible aspects of your business and its assets. 

Private business and equity valuations present unique challenges that our skills and experience are tailored to meet. Our base of extensive industry, accounting, taxation and transaction advice, supports our knowledge and allows us to provide you with a valuation service that is thorough and relevant to you and your business. 

Our team provides independent valuation services to support restructures, acquisitions, disposals, financing decisions and as an aid to dispute settlement. In conjunction with our Forensic Accounting Services team, we also provide support for Expert Reports and Litigation.

Acquisitions, Disposals and Restructuring

Primarily aimed at private business, our team has experience on both sides of transactions, assisting vendors with pre-sale planning and sale of business as well as advising purchasers through due diligence engagements and transaction structuring. 

Our breadth of knowledge and experience in taxation and support services allows us to offer complete transaction advice and to liaise with you and on your behalf to ensure efficient negotiation, decision making and settlement.

Independent Accountant Reports

Hand in hand with our Assurance and Forensic Accounting Services, we are able to apply our experience in preparing Independent Accountant Reports on the review of financial information, both historical and forecast and to offer our opinion thereon. Often supporting dispute resolution or due diligence considerations, we have the necessary resources to analyse, review and communicate an appropriately qualified and independent opinion.
