Mergers & Acquisitions
Our approach to M&A communications goes far beyond the traditional equity market audience to include all constituencies affected by the transaction, including customers, regulators and impacted employees.
IPOs / Capital Raisings
Raising capital from both public and private markets requires effective illustration of a company’s future, its ability to adapt to changes in the external environment and the skill of its management in creating value.
Across our network, we have managed the communications of some of the world’s largest and most complex IPOs, secondary equity and debt issues, driving communications strategies to support the investment case through every stage of the fundraising process.
Investor Activism
It is vital for a company to prepare smartly for activists ahead of time – identifying potential vulnerabilities, getting an early start on corrective actions, taking control of the company narrative and positioning its outlook.
Restructuring & Bankruptcy
Leading up to and during an in-court or out-of-court restructuring, effectively communicating a company’s strategy for overcoming financial and operational challenges to its key stakeholders is of paramount importance.
