Corporate Development

Vantage advises corporate and business development teams on complex, high-stakes transactions, including acquisition target identification and due diligence, as well as licensing deals and other forms of strategic alliance.

At Vantage we look beyond the traditional binary distinction between organic and inorganic growth, partnering with corporate development and business development groups to define and execute growth strategies that comprise an optimal mix of acquisitions, joint ventures, alliances, and other forms of partnership.

Our consultants guide clients toward unbiased consideration of multiple options to drive growth and enter new markets, providing balanced assessment of both associated benefits and risks. We also advise on opportunities to improve strategic focus and enhance shareholder returns through divestures, spin-offs, and asset sales.
We frequently provide hands-on support to teams involved in high-stakes transactions, including acquisition target identification and due diligence, negotiation of complex agreements including in and out-licensing deals, and structuring various forms of strategic partnership.

Finally, because our goal is to position our clients for long-term results, we equip corporate and business development teams with the tools and skills they need to continuously evaluate and adjust their deal pipelines and partner portfolios in response to a dynamic market.
