Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions Support

Commercially Focused Due Diligence for Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions

Corporate transactions move quickly, and decision makers need concise, commercially relevant information under tight timelines. We support buyers, sellers, lenders, and advisors involved in corporate M&A by providing clear assessments of compliance, ESG performance, and transaction‑critical risks. Our goal is to help clients maintain momentum, protect value, and make informed decisions throughout the process.

Compliance Due Diligence 

Our compliance reviews focus on material regulatory and operational requirements that affect corporate transactions. This includes assessment of environmental, health and safety obligations, licence and permit conditions, operational practices, and adherence to relevant statutory duties. We provide clear conclusions on exposures that may influence valuation, ongoing liabilities or integration planning. Our team has extensive experience delivering these assessments for corporate and private equity transactions in the UK and internationally.

ESG Due Diligence 

ESG questions now sit at the centre of deal assessment for lenders, corporates, and private equity. We review the target’s sustainability performance and governance arrangements, where relevant, with reference to recognised benchmarks. For more information on how we can support, please see our ESG Due Diligence Services page. 

Our work provides a structured view of how the target aligns with current and emerging expectations for climate strategy, resource efficiency, supply chain practices, social impact, and governance structures. These insights support investment decisions, lender disclosure requirements, and integration planning. 

Transaction-Aligned Delivery 

Corporate M&A transactions often involve rapid decision cycles. We tailor our approach to the size and complexity of each deal and produce reporting that supports early red flag reviews, exclusivity stages, and final committee decisions. Our experience spans both single-entity transactions and complex multisite portfolios across multiple jurisdictions.

International Capability 

Through the Inogen Alliance, we work with a global network of more than 6,000 consultants across 200 offices. This allows us to support cross border M&A with consistent quality and locally informed compliance and ESG assessment in each relevant market.

Post-Transaction Support 

Following completion, we provide assistance in areas such as environmental permitting, waste management, health and safety, planning support, and EHS management systems. These services help clients reduce risk, control cost, and support smooth integration.
