A buy-side mandate is a common situation for retaining Arthur Nordlie & Company in which the firm usually takes full project management responsibility for a broad acquisition process or sometimes for a specific acquisition. The buy-side projects can be describes as going through six phases.
- Determining objectives and designing the process strategy.
- Research and screening of acquisition candidates.
- Establishing contact with acquisition candidates and obtaining relevant information.
- Performing due dillgence and valuation analysis.
- Formulating transaction proposals.
- Negotiations leading to signing and closing of transactions.
