Significant M&A transactions are complex events for any organisation and the teams involved. Managing counterparties, Boards, bankers, lawyers, consultants, regulators, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders - while seeking to stay on top of the deal during negotiations and the due diligence process – can be a daunting experience.
