The current regulatory environment and abundance of capital continue to
drive Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activity. Beyond the typical
private equity buyout and corporate development 
players, many companies are determining that some form of M&A will be part
of their strategic development. Whether you are facing your first
deal or your 50th, ABD's Mergers & Acquisitions Services Group is prepared
to be your risk advisor and advocate through every step of the transaction
and beyond. Our Value Proposition
Our clients work with industry-specific experts, not
M&A generalists. ABD is the 14th largest retail insurance broker in
the United States with specialized expertise in a variety of vertical
markets ranging from construction, real estate and manufacturing to
software, semiconductors, life sciences and veterinary medicine. Our
competitive advantage is the willingness and flexibility to pull people
and resources from these practice areas to create customized M&A deal
teams based on the specific characteristics and needs of each transaction.
Due Diligence
Identify all industry-specific and company-specific risk factors
including uninsured or under-insured exposures and long-lived
liabilities that could affect valuation and other deal terms. Quantify the identified exposures and their associated cash flow
implications. Nullify financial exposure by providing risk transfer solutions
including, but not limited to, insurance products.
Implementation The necessity of industry-specific domain
expertise becomes clear at the execution stage. ABD acts as advisor
and liaison between target and buyer, or merger partner, while implementing
the appropriate pre- and post-closing risk management strategy. Ongoing
Risk Management Consistent Risk Management is an essential part of any
change management strategy. ABD has the bench strength and breadth of
services to effectively engage companies ranging in size from start-up to
the Fortune 500. To learn more about ABD's Mergers & Acquisitions
