You are considering an external analysis of your compliance programs regarding fraud, the fight against corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing, or the duty of vigilance to ensure that these matters do not compromise the management bodies and/or the reputation of the company.
The Board of Directors is concerned about the implementation of new compliance measures and wants to know whether risks of non-compliance or of harm to the company have been properly anticipated in the context of a development in France or abroad.
You are considering a disposal, acquisition or share reorganisation. You are pondering the price, the control premium, and the discounts and/or additional charges to be negotiated.
To determine this price, you need an objective and documented analysis of the value of the companies concerned, including an appraisal of any expected synergies.
You are considering gifting all or part of your assets or transferring them to your descendants.
To do this securely, you need an expert appraisal of the value of your company, securities or properties in accordance with legal precedent and tax requirements.
You want an external critique of the strategic choices you are planning on implementing (build-up, spin off, refinancing, etc.), as well as the data your group communicates to its partners (bank, shareholders, etc.).
You also want to manage the financial communications and the image of your group in the traditional media and on social media.
Your group is considering a takeover of a company that could give it a competitive advantage. Your Board of Directors is asking for an analysis of the target’s business model and environment and an independent opinion on the financial conditions considered for the acquisition, be it a leveraged buyout, a share allotment or a stock-for-stock merger.
You have just achieved an acquisition and you need to perform the purchase price allocation. You are wondering about the changing value of your assets and liabilities in your consolidated financial statements, changes in the parameters used, and the consistency of those parameters by business and by country (multiples, risk premiums and risk-free rates, betas).
You need to have a clear, lasting methodology to anticipate changes in the value of your assets and liabilities. You want to assess the impact of your accounting choices on your long-term results and your financial communications.
Your group is the target of speculative attacks from activist shareholders, which could jeopardise its independence, its control and its strategy. You need analysis, recommendations and assistance concerning the financial structuring your group needs to counter these attacks.
You are a claimant or defendant in a legal dispute concerning wrongful termination, breach of contract, disparagement or unfair competition.
You want to obtain an objective financial analysis of the situation in order to quantify the losses suffered through the costing of a counterfactual scenario.
With the help of your lawyers, you wish to prepare for a mediation, arbitration or lawsuit. You need a financial consultant to perform valuations, analyse your opponent’s valuations, defend his analyses and conclusions in court, and work with your lawyers to support you throughout the proceedings.
Your group has suffered a massive reduction in its business or is facing difficulties, forcing you to seek significant financing from your usual financial partners and other sources.
You need support from restructuring specialists to study and determine your financial needs or to negotiate financing appropriate to your requirements and your repayment capability.
