Facing a politically sensitive merger or acquisition? Even with financial and legal due diligence complete, the political dimension can determine success or failure.
A sharp political analysis identifies risks and opportunities and informs strategic decisions.
A merger is only complete
when the political context is right.
In Mergers & Acquisitions, politics often carries as much weight as financial or legal factors. Why? Because it’s often the political reality that catches organisations off guard. Policy developments, upcoming legislation, parliamentary debates, and social sensitivities can all directly affect the valuation, conditions, and timing of your deal.
But what if politics is precisely the decisive factor that makes your deal succeed?
A political analysis gives you insight into relevant developments, the views of policymakers, and anticipated legislation.
This provides a solid basis for your strategic decisions and increases the likelihood of gaining support and ensuring a smooth process.
This political analysis is increasingly included in due-diligence processes.
It helps investors and buyers identify potential political obstacles, determine what commitments may be required, and ensure a smooth integration without reputational damage.
Through stakeholder and competitor analyses, Meines Holla & Partners maps out the political risks of your planned acquisition or merger.
