Exit Preparation and Divestiture

As the moment of divestiture approaches, we maximize the return on investment with vendor due diligence processes. We create commercial and technical vendor DDs and data books, lead internal teams through expert sessions, coordinate response and prepare playbooks for necessary transformation. For necessary carve outs, we develop TSAs and corresponding contracts and support preparation for technical separation.
