Corporate Divestitures
A divestiture is the sale of subsidiaries, divisions or assets of companies due to lack of alignment or liquidity needs of the core business. Divestitures are distinctively different from traditional third party transactions and require an advisory team expert in navigating the intricacies of this unique sales process. Clients rely on TMG’s deep experience supporting divestitures to achieve optimal transaction terms and value.

In M&A, one wrong move in due diligence can bust your deal just like a bad bracket pick busts your March Madness chances.
