M&A Team
Generating Superior Results
Our Mergers & Acquisitions Team is focused exclusively on promising small and middle market companies. Legend’s team has decades of experience involving more than 150 completed transactions, plus deep industry and sector focus in areas including defense, aerospace, security, media, telecom, energy and e-learning.
Legend has structured itself specifically to focus on smaller growth companies that big banks, with their substantial overhead and bureaucracy, serve poorly or not at all. Our clients are advised by dedicated execution teams and our senior bankers are involved every step of the way. The senior “A” Team that pitches a prospective client is the same team that works with the client to achieve a successful transaction. To learn about our M&A Team, please see the bios of Tom Gallagher, Mark Sauter, Brad McGowan and Pete Serra.
Because Legend is also active in raising equity and debt funding, plus underwriting and advising SPACs, our team has the context, network and capabilities to understand and shape complex M&A transactions of all sorts.
In short, Legend offers the sophisticated, comprehensive services of a large bank with the client focus of a boutique.
Considerations in Picking the Right Sell-Side Advisor
Does the banker:
- have a disciplined marketing and auction process that creates urgency, competition and confidence among a wide field of potential buyers?
- understand the industry, and is it able to translate this knowledge of macro and micro trends into “real” value in an exit multiple?
- know the potential buyer universe - strategic, financial and SPACs — and has the banker dealt with these groups in prior transactions?
- have a track record in the sector, both in M&A transactions and broadly speaking?
