Ensuring Transaction Success

We formulate an effective deal strategy and assist with all facets from pre-deal preparation through post-deal integration to improve your likelihood of success.

GAC provides technical, financial and market due diligence and other services to support decision-making and structure transactions strategically.

Many clients ask us to assess product development and regulatory plans, test commercial assumptions and vet financial forecasts. We help create and execute roadmaps for out-licensing or in-licensing, targeting new products or technologies.

Our consultants develop the critical materials and maintain focus on when, how, and by whom it will be executed.

"You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction."

– Alvin Toffler
