M&A and Strategic Advisory

Trium & Co advises shareholders and executives on their most significant transactions. Our M&A practice spans the full spectrum of major transactions: sales to financial sponsors, primary and secondary LBOs, transformational acquisitions, carve-outs and cross-border transactions.

On the sell-side, we run rigorous competitive processes that maximise tension between strategic and financial buyers and defend value through to closing. On the buy-side, we provide independent analysis, precise target identification and proven execution capabilities in the most demanding environments.

Our track record reflects expertise built on complex transactions, underpinned by a structural independence that defines our approach.

Trium & Co advises independent board committees in situations involving potential conflicts of interest: offers initiated by a controlling shareholder, related-party transactions, take-privates and squeeze-outs. Our structural independence and experience with sensitive mandates allow independent directors to rely on conflict-free advice, capable of rigorously assessing strategic alternatives and negotiating in the exclusive interest of minority shareholders.

We bring the analytical rigour and discretion these mandates demand, ensuring that every decision rests on a documented, independent process able to withstand subsequent scrutiny.

Trium & Co advises significant shareholders and boards in the most complex market situations: unsolicited stakebuilding, activist campaigns, shareholder disputes and deadlocks. We act both upstream, to identify vulnerabilities and build a response strategy, and in times of crisis, to defend our clients’ interests against hostile bidders or activist shareholders.

Our approach combines independent financial analysis, strategic counsel and negotiation support, with absolute priority given to value creation for all shareholders.

Beyond transactions, Trium & Co advises at defining moments in the life of a company: reviews of strategic alternatives, independent valuations, exchange ratio analyses and fairness opinions. We advise boards and shareholders when the complexity of a situation demands a rigorous and truly independent external perspective.

Our role is to provide the analytical clarity and independence of judgement that enable our clients to take their most critical decisions with the conviction that they rest on an objective assessment of market reality.
