Mergers and acquisitions - international overview

Once the preserve of local deals, the mid-market is now an engine for growth in cross border transactions that are increasingly the norm in both acquisition and disposals activity. Entrepreneurial businesses have ever higher expectations of their advisers, demanding the ability to deliver ideas, expertise, relationships and resources in a seamless manner throughout the world's major corporate centres.

The unique value proposition of Grant Thornton member firms is one which combines excellent local delivery with the knowledge and reach provided by a highly active international network and a shared determination to continue to develop and invest in growing their capabilities for the future.
