As part of Rothschild & Co, Europe’s leading M&A adviser, our specialist management advisory team is uniquely qualified to provide the most informed guidance to management teams involved in all manner of private equity-related transactions and consistently delivers excellent outcomes for our clients.
We advise management teams on both primary management buy-outs as well as on structuring your reinvestment alongside a new private equity owner in secondary buy-out situations to properly protect the value you and your colleagues have already built, while maximising your future value opportunity. We build close relationships with management to ensure your interests are protected and aligned.
For investors competing to win hearts and minds in an auction process, offering the right incentive structure for management, alongside the right price for the sellers, can help differentiate your offer from others. Building on our extensive experience acting for management teams, we also support owners of companies or prospective buyers – either strategic or private equity, as they look to propose and implement appropriate and/or competitive Long Terms Incentive Programmes for their senior management teams. This may be done via equity or shadow equity schemes post completion of a deal.
