M&A for public companies

The combination of equity capital market capacity with M&A expertise has enabled Byran, Garnier & Co to become one of the most regarded mid-market firms in the field of public M&A.

We have led many public M&As, including large and complex transactions involving both national and international public companies. Our public M&A assignments cover a wide range of deals: public-to-private transactions; public tender offers and mandatory redemption offers; mergers, de-mergers and restructurings involving listed companies; acquisitions and divestments of significant share stakes in listed companies; business acquisitions and divestments involving listed companies; and defence strategies against hostile take-over bids.

Public to Private (P2P)

We bring unique expertise to support private equity investors and listed companies when dealing with public-to-private situations. We advise private equity investors on their acquisition approaches to listed companies, or help listed companies find private equity sponsors able to conduct such complex transactions.
