Mergers and Acquisitions
Charcot Capital is led by seasoned corporate financiers with a successful track record in initiating and leading transactions of small, medium to very large sizes.
Charcot Capital's partners have executed transactions in sectors as diversified as: telecommunications, media, commodities, retail, consumer and luxury goods, financial institutions, real estate, technology, leisure, travel and transport. We have developed an affinity for certain sectors which we have been covering in close collaboration with longstanding clients, yet we have experienced that our approach allows to work across a wide range of industries. Should certain situations require a level of expertise we feel we cannot provide, we may partner with or recommend alternative advisors.
In order to optimise terms and conditions we develop a deep understanding of the parties' business models and value drivers. This is key to successful deal structuring and execution.
Each deal deserves the same attention and is led by an experienced partner.

Disposals
We have extensive experience in sell-side processes advising corporate clients and financial sponsors on disposals and auction processes as well as in privatizations; our partners have a strong record of transaction completion beyond client expectations.

Joint Ventures and Strategic Partnerships
The success of a partnership requires a sound understanding of operating contributions and corporate governance issues, coupled with the capability to ensure alignment of interests between complementary partners. We have significant experience in structuring corporate partnerships across geographies: we approach those projects through a comprehensive review of operating and corporate governance scenarios so that they can be efficiently prepared and resolved from the outset.
-
Public Transactions
Our partners have been involved in public transactions including unsolicited and friendly takeover bids, mergers of equals, takeover defence and private investment in public equity across a wide range of jurisdictions including the UK, continental Europe, the Americas and Australia. Regulated by the FSA and with a passport to operate in EEA countries, Charcot Capital aims to be involved in public advisory mandates in jurisdictions we master best. In other jurisdictions Charcot Capital may link up with local advisors on an ad hoc basis in order to provide longstanding clients additional financial, tactical and strategic advice.

Capital Raising
We look to introduce the best suited potential partners and investors to our clients. We have developed solid relationships with financial sponsors and alternative managers, as well as with some family offices. We also have a close relationship with a firm of established fund raising specialists whose superior level of contacts with Middle Eastern investors broadens our clients' range of potential capital raising solutions.
-
Buyouts
We have extensive experience working with Private Equity funds. Our partners have an outstanding record accompanying financial sponsors from the initial investment to successful exit. In the past our partners have made co-investments in assets alongside clients in the tradition of merchant banking whereby a close relationship always prevails over any risk of conflicts of interests.

Restructuring / Recapitalisations and Resolution of Shareholders Issues and Disputes
We have experience advising on restructurings and re-organisations, including balance sheet restructuring, renegotiation of loan agreements and transactions aimed at firming up a company's capital base.
We have successfully assisted companies and shareholders in the resolution of corporate governance issues and post transaction disputes such as valuation of earn-out post sale of a company and the re-alignment of shareholders' interests in respect of liquidity and financial returns.
