Launch of REACH Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions

Launch of REACH Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions

May 6^th, 2024, Dublin, Ireland – We are pleased to announce the launch of our worldwide cross-border M&A partnership under the new REACH organization.

REACH Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions brings together 24 M&A advisory firms operating across 30 countries, formerly known as Global M&A Partners, who have collaborated on cross-border deals for over two decades. REACH specializes in mid-market transactions, providing advice to private equity funds, corporate clients, and family-owned companies on selling, divesting, acquiring, or merging businesses across international borders.

Over the last 5 years, we have listened diligently to our client’s needs, recognizing that the pivotal factor to success in cross-border transactions resides in assembling the right cross-border deal team – comprised of experts with proven sector and local markets knowledge, a track record of successful transactions, a history of fluid collaboration, and a commitment to remain alongside the client throughout the entire transaction process.

Through attentive consideration of client feedback, we’ve established REACH Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions. Our clients can now choose their cross-border deal team to match their specific needs. They directly engage with the advisors who did the previous deals, possessing the requisite expertise, and who remain alongside them throughout the entire transaction process.

REACH’s cross-border deal teams combine sector knowledge experts and local market connoisseurs, each demonstrating proven track records, connections to key decision-makers, and local execution prowess. Our teams have successfully collaborated on over 700 cross-border M&A deals since 2010, leveraging our collective knowledge, sharing global perspective and good ear to the ground in the local markets to identify buyers and sellers beyond the conventional scope.

This allows us to provide our clients with peace of mind throughout their transaction processes while successfully closing the deal.

Ivan Alver, Chairman of REACH: "We are delighted to launch our new REACH organization, which embodies the core values and competences that define our people and our firms. We listened to the market, and we optimized to support our clients to succeed in their cross-border transactions, leveraging our pool of highly experienced dealmakers who bring both deep sector expertise as well as thorough local knowledge to the table. 

Our coherence allows us to collaborate swiftly across geographies, cultures, and time zones, also under highly challenging circumstances. This discriminator has evolved into our partnership and deal team culture, which is now embodied in our new REACH organization.”

Since 2010, our REACH advisors have closed over 1,800 cross-border and domestic transactions, with an aggregate deal value of over €60 billion, making us one of the most active, and successful M&A organizations worldwide.
