Kirchner and Company assists buy-side and sell-side clients in the execution of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. We employ a process driven approach that enables us to be effective in virtually any industry. In essence, we take this process approach togther with our transactional experience to each engagement, and collaborate closely with management who have the domain expertise. Together, the combination is very effective.

Leveraging the operational, transactional, and international experience of our team, Kirchner and Company can provide the services of a large-scale investment bank while maintaining the hands on approach of a boutique firm.

We staff our engagements with experienced senior level professionals who are actively involved in managing and executing the transaction process, alongside management and the investors. We align our interests with our clients by employing a success weighted compensation structure.

Kirchner and Company differentiates itself in all aspects of a transaction:

• Identifying Targets – The key to most successful transactions is to move the maximum number of appropriate leads through the process. Our research group leverages the network and resources of the organization to deliver a target list that extends beyond the most likely candidates. Our target list will include companies in relevant adjacent market sectors as well as difficult-to-research private companies.
• Presenting the Opportunity – Our team’s operational experience is key to understanding the client’s value proposition and the benefits to a target’s business. We work closely with our clients to tailor the opportunity to fit the specific requirements of each high potential target.
• Negotiating and Structuring the Deal – Our services do not end at bringing buyers to the table. We believe in creating the highest return to our client by spending a significant amount of time illustrating the individual value proposition to each prospective buyer. We often prepare a report for an interested party to show synergies resulting from acquisition. We are also highly experienced at negotiations and deal structures. Creativity in structuring deals in often the key to achieving the optimum value, meeting shareholder objectives and closing the deal.

Another area where Kirchner and Company differentiates itself is in our reporting process to the stakeholders. We believe in frequent open conversations with the stakeholders so that decisions can be made in real time with all of the relevant information available. This ensures that the process moves forward smoothly and that there are no surprises.

We see ourselves as partners with our clients and conduct ourselves accordingly. The effectiveness of our approach is evidenced by our list of clients in many industries.
