Mergers & Acquisitions
Our M&A advisory services include assisting in sell-side, buy-side, and joint venture/partnering transactions. We work with our clients to establish appropriate objectives for the process, identify key valuation metrics and assist in the negotiation and closing of the transaction. When creativity is needed, our decades of experience negotiating bespoke structures and complex joint venture agreements can be the difference between a deal closing and being lost.
Restructuring
Rock House applies our capital markets expertise to assist clients and their counsel in the execution of successful restructuring plans. We are experienced in negotiating with existing stakeholders, establishing appropriate capital structure objectives, advising on any indicated divestitures, determining new capital needs, and then managing bidding procedures to establish a stalking horse, evaluate proposals and ultimately defend those proposals through expert testimony if required.
