We run our own business, so we really do get itAs joint managing partner of a 440 person, 35 partner practice, I understand what it is like to run your own business. BHP has trebled in size in recent years, through a combination of acquisitive and organic growth. I understand the highs, lows and challenges this can bring and look to use this experience to provide more meaningful advice to our clients.Deals experienceI have over 20 years’ experience advising on a wide range of corporate finance deals and also jointly led the sale of the practice I was a partner of back in 2008. Types of transactions vary greatly but include:• Management buy-outs/buy-ins• Mergers & acquisitions• Business disposals• Strategic planning• Debt fundraisings• Private Equity fundraisings• Asset based lending More than just Corporate FinanceThe advice I am asked for is, often far wider ranging than that and can include discussions on:• Business strategy• Employee retention and incentivisation• Exit and Succession planning• Tax efficient structuring of personal and business interests (alongside our specialist tax team of over 50 people)Our approachAdvice should be exactly that. I strongly believe clients want well thought through commercial advice, that meets their commercial goals, not a list of options, products or services. As a result, myself and the wider BHP team, will always give you our opinion on what option we would choose ourselves, when delivering our professional advice.Contact: Hamish.Morrison@BHP.co.uk
