I advise clients on M&A transactions, and help them to protect and drive value through purchase price adjustment mechanisms (e.g. adjustments for cash, debt, working capital or net asset value). In particular, I have extensive experience in fixed price 'locked box', completion accounts and earn-out mechanisms. I support clients in their negotiations with other-side parties in this area, and work closely with them and their legal advisers to reflect commercially agreed positions in the accounting aspects of the sale and purchase agreement (SPA). After completion, I help clients in their preparation or review of completion accounts and can support them through any subsequent negotiations or disputes in these areas with the other party when required.A chartered accountant by background, I have advised on more than 300 M&A transactions and have over 10 years' experience working in specialist accounting SPA teams. I advise on both sell-side and buy-side transactions and whilst I work across a range of sectors, I have strong credentials in consumer business and real estate transactions.
