Think about it: How many prominent mergers and acquisitions have gone wrong because of what the acquirer didn’t know about the target company?
What sets the Chertoff Group apart is the breadth of our industry knowledge, the depth of our experience and the extent of our close contacts with industry leaders worldwide. We have personally worked with – and at one time or other, often hired or been hired by – the principals of the world’s leading security and risk management firms.
We have overseen billions of dollars of technology development and acquisition for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the National Security Agency, and the CIA. We have keen insight into which new technologies are likely to transform the landscape, and our experience allows us to predict which ones may be headed for obsolescence.
Our team has deep experience from having handled hundreds of mergers and acquisitions at some of the world’s premier investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. We can supplement your in-house business development team or act as your full service M&A advisor. Whether you are considering doing a small domestic acquisition or a large complex international transaction, we have years of experience doing both and we stand ready to help you. We have proven success, not only in the domestic U.S. market; we also have years of experience in completing international transactions, as well.
Call us. Because it pays to know what we know before you decide on a merger or acquisition.
The security and risk management market is large, growing and resilient, even in this economic downturn. Despite its potential value of over $200 billion per year, the market is highly fragmented. Together, these realities provide many opportunities to leverage economies of scale and enhance returns through operational improvements.
The Chertoff Group partners with compatible private equity firms across the investment spectrum, by providing our sector knowledge to help monitor and manage target companies during periods of transition. Regardless of our role, we are committed experts at aligning interests and maximizing value for our clients.
