M&A communications
We are market leader in M&A communications in the Netherlands. Our experience encompasses communicating carve-outs, mergers, friendly and hostile takeovers and public offers.
Understanding the dynamics, process and delicate issues surrounding deals and negotiations and how they are perceived by journalists, staff, clients and shareholders is our day-to-day business. We work for both strategic and financial (private equity) players and have advised Dutch and foreign sellers and buyers on transactions in the Netherlands.
Communication in the course of a transaction is just part of our job. We also advise on internal and external communications during the integration process which follows the deal and contributes to realising synergies and creating value.
Clients & cases

We have serviced numerous companies and private equity firms (both on buy and sell side) such as Wavin, NSI, Crucell, Draka, Endemol, Maxeda, Canon, Cinven, Danone, HEMA, IK Invest, KKR Macintosh Retail Group, Parcom, Stork, Unibail and Warburg Pincus. In 2012, we advised among others DE Masterblenders 1753 during the carve out from SaraLee, America Movil on its partial public offer for KPN, Accell Group on the acquisition of Raleigh Cycle and Lukoil entering the Dutch market with the takeover of a large number of gas stations. We currentlyu work on the intended public offer on Mediq by Advent and the offer on LBi by Publicis. But equally exciting and challenging, we also help smaller companies, management and private owners with their stakeholder communication during mergers, acquisitions and exits.
