M&A Transactions
Energy transactions carry value drivers that are easy to miss: regulation, commodity exposure, asset condition and the pace of the transition. We help buyers, sellers and investors see the whole picture before they commit.
Overview
How we help.
Our transaction advisory brings sector expertise to each stage of a deal. We help you identify the right targets, understand what they are really worth, and uncover the commercial, technical and regulatory issues that affect price and structure.
We work as part of your deal team, alongside your financial, legal and tax advisers. Our focus is on the questions specific to energy assets and businesses, so that the investment case you take to your board and your lenders is sound.
What we do
Where we work with clients.
Target screening and origination

Coordinating the review of asset performance, condition, reserves or resource, and capital needs.
Valuation and deal structuring support
