Mergers, Acquisitions and Disposals

Matt was always there no matter what time of the day to help, reassure, answer any queries and addressing the many concerns we had. He remained calm and demonstrated a clear understanding of what we had to do.

This was a challenging deal and would not have achieved a successful outcome without the professionalism and proactive approach of HCR

On a day to day basis we dealt mainly with Matt Montgomery & Chris Sharp-Paul. They were very personable, conscientious, understood our feelings throughout the whole process and comprehended the enormity of what it meant to us as shareholders. Working well with our advisor team and also the buyer’s advisor team, they created a solid platform to resolve issues with our interests front of mind.

They have been patient, accommodating, honest, and kept us informed at all times. They have worked out of hours when required, have always been calm and collected and showed patience and understanding.

An absolute pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who was embarking on a similar transaction.

It was a pleasure working with James and Joe on this complex transaction. I relied on James’ experience for guidance on how to resolve certain conflicts in the negotiation process, and I relied on Joe’s minute attention to detail and overall management of the transaction to ensure that nothing was missed.

The communication with both has been smooth and efficient throughout the entire process, and turnaround times were to my highest expectations.

HCR have supported us on a number of transactions in recent years. Their ability to distil complex matters down to identifying material issues and provide advice and solutions provides the reassurance we need to complete deals. Helen and her colleagues are highly experienced and professional. They know our business and what sector specific issues and risks we face. They are always positive and engaging and are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with them on future transactions.

Savi advised me throughout a merger with another agency. His commercial and legal advice combined with his astute knowledge of people delivered a successful deal that protected the business and the people in it, whilst striking a fair commercial settlement reflecting the true value of the ‘deal’. I really enjoyed working with Savi and I couldn’t recommend Savi highly enjoy.

Dr Salandra successfully negotiated a share purchase agreement for me. It was complex due to the other party being antagonistic. He was always available to discuss the issues even out of hours. He concluded the agreement in a timeous matter and in a very professional way. I can highly recommend him for this type of work.

I would like to thank Delyth, Theresa and everyone involved for the amazing service and going way above and beyond getting this over the line considering the difficulties we were facing. At all times you have acted professionally, promptly, communicated effectively, and in terms that I could understand to enable me to make an informed decision. I will not hesitate to contact you should I require legal services in the future.

HCR are always prepared to go the extra mile to deliver a project on time and to budget. The most unique feature about HCR has to be the people. everyone in the organisation is highly motivated, experienced and has a robust understanding of our needs as a business. HCR has such a breadth of expertise to support in any situation. They are able to bring together the right team to support our needs. We have never found HCR to be wanting in any transaction.

I have worked with Inger on investment deals and have found her to be responsive, knowledgeable, good value, trustworthy and a problem solver.

I found Inger to be comfortably in command of the necessary knowledge, and good to work with. In particular, she was good at explaining which choices we had to make, and was able to guide us through the decision process.

Inger is pragmatic in her approach and works hard to simplify and ease the process. She is a pleasure to work with.

Inger has provided excellent support and strong advice with clear explanations. Her commercial understanding is second to none and her negotiation skills are of the highest standard.
