Transaction Services

Our end-to-end transaction service supports clients every step of the way

Transactions are an integral part of sustainable corporate value creation. From actively managing the business portfolio and preparing and executing carve-outs and post-merger integrations, to building alliances and joint ventures – we support businesses across the entire transaction lifecycle to maximize value at every step.

Post-merger integration

Every post-merger integration (PMI) is unique and needs a tailored strategy based on its specific environment, deal rationale, synergy targets and corporate culture. Roland Berger supports you at every step, from developing a tailored PMI approach to comprehensively exploiting all synergies post-closing. Our PMI consulting is centered around three commitments to help you turn your PMI into a success. With value creation at the heart of every step of our PMI approach, we help you to capture your full transactional potential. We also enable you to set up the right project governance, as milestones can only be reached, and all relevant aspects considered, with the right steering. Lastly, people and culture are every organization’s key asset in PMI; we pledge to involve all relevant stakeholders and ensure their buy-in.
