Mergers & Acquisitions
The detailed and often delicate process of negotiating any corporate transaction requires knowledge in areas such as share buybacks, capital repayments, mergers, demergers and reconstructions.
Whilst many businesses will apply in house experience and resource to deal with the legal, taxation, regulatory and accounting aspects of each type of transaction it is rare that a business will possess the detailed knowledge required to:
-
Negotiate pensions aspects with target principals/representatives;
-
Handle negotiations with trustees of the target company pension scheme;
-
Handle negotiations with trustees of the existing scheme;
-
Handle negotiations with Unions;
-
Understand all of the financial liabilities and risks;
-
Balance pension issues with wider operational and HR objectives.
At PCS we will advise on all or part of these issues whilst crucially applying the
depth of experience and understanding of the wider aspects of successful corporate
transaction work.
