The Integration & Separation Advisory Team

KPMG's Ops In M&A Integration & Separation Advisory Team is a growing and dynamic team. We work with both vendors and acquirers on mergers, acquisitions, divestments, exits and joint ventures, both pre and post-deal.

The team offers four key proposition areas:

• Integration: Pre and post deal integration design, planning and implementation to integrate the target business into the Buyer's organisation whilst mitigating risk and enhancing value.

• Synergies: Understanding the potential benefits and costs generated through a proposed transaction, and the associated plans, interdependencies, risks and issues for the delivery of base and stretch case targets.

• Joint Ventures: Helping respective partners ensure the key value considerations are identified and prioritised early and delivered through the associated business plan, leveraging each party's specific contribution and capabilities and managing broader stakeholder relationships.
