Sale/Acquisition/Merger

Claiborne Advisors, Inc.’s clients benefit from the firm’s diverse and extensive transactional and industry experience, complemented by keen insights that can only come from years of experience dealing with legal and compliance issues while avoiding or neutralizing regulatory landmines.

Since 2000 we’ve been assisting clients through every stage of a transaction involving selling, buying, and advising privately-owned businesses, including:

  • Evaluating objectives, especially at the nexus of personal and business

  • Negotiations – always needing creativity and keen insights

  • Due diligence – proper preparation leads to faster, surer closings at higher valuations

  • Closing – relentless focus, holding feet to the fire

  • Post-closing – the next step of a long-term relationship

Public companies engage the Claiborne team to deliver significant value in transactions too small for the company’s lead investment bank when discussions turn to selling a division or business unit.

Access whichever swaths of industry, size, and geography you’ll benefit from by having Claiborne Advisors guiding and representing you. With a single conversation, you can begin the process of discovering how world-class professionals can help you seek out new opportunities and avoid potential pitfalls.
