Private Equity

Our private equity coverage team builds relationships with private equity firms, mezzanine firms, and other capital providers through an organized, proactive, and relationship management approach. Our coverage team creates value in two ways.  First, we coordinate the deal flow of our industry and transaction execution teams to help ensure that our clients are getting access to the most appropriate private equity firms on a preferred basis.  Second, we seek to ensure that our private equity firm clients have access to both our industry specialist and globally dispersed professionals.  These same capabilities, position us to provide sale and divestiture services to our private equity firm clients.

Whether private equity firms are bidding to acquire one of our clients or hiring us for their own transaction related needs, the following common themes exist in our service offering:

• Global Reach
  We can access both domestic and international deal flow and counter parties through our extensive global network of over 1,800 investment bankers in over 100 offices and 51 countries.
  
  
• Industry Expertise
  Our deep industry knowledge enables us to identify and understand the key value drivers and unique aspects of each business.
  
  
• Senior-Level Attention
  KPMG Corporate Finance senior professionals are seasoned M&A bankers with significant transaction experience that are dedicated to serving our clients through all stages of the transaction process.
  
  
• Leading M&A Adviser
  Our consistent position as the leading M&A adviser reflects our unmatched ability to get deals done.
