Where technology meets opportunity, empowering your next big move in tech
We are passionate supporters of the tech ecosystem and as such have expertise across applications, data and infrastructure delivering leading transactions in B2B Information, Cyber Security, Digital Transformation, IT Managed Services and Software.
We are dedicated to partnering with ambitious technology entrepreneurs and investors to sculpt transformative transactions.
"The team’s advice on deal strategy, from tailoring a process that worked for us through to negotiations with bidders and potential bidders, was invaluable to realising the right outcome for the shareholders with the right partner for our business. The team were not afraid to provide appropriate challenges when required and were completely committed throughout, managing multiple complex work streams across Europe, the UK and the US, to realise this completion. It certainly helped that we also enjoyed working with the team!"
