Cross-Border M&A

Mid-market cross-border deals are structurally underserved. Too small for the bulge bracket, too complex for a domestic firm. We run the process end-to-end for transactions between $10M and $500M, with the discretion of a private mandate.

What this involves

  • 01Origination, target identification, and confidential outreach.
  • 02Financial, legal, tax, and regulatory diligence coordination.
  • 03Deal structure, purchase agreement negotiation, and regulatory clearance.
  • 04Post-close integration planning and stakeholder management.

How Reevers approaches this

Every transaction is a negotiation about time. We move quickly where speed protects value and slowly where the counterparty benefits from clarity. Our clients rarely see a data room they did not expect.

We do not publish deal announcements. If the transaction requires public disclosure, we coordinate it. If it does not, no one will hear about it from us.
