I would like to thank Carl, Will and the team for their proactive engagement in completing the acquisition of The Combined Services Provider Ltd in August 2023. GE team helped Norland Equity Partners with the FDD, Financial Modelling and Negotiations. It was a protracted transaction and the GE team demonstrated professionalism and built a win-win relationship with me as a client and the vendor’s team as well. In some very difficult negotiations, Carl and Will contributed to a very successful and fair outcome for all stakeholders – they fought hard for me as a client and established a trusted relationship with the vendor’s team by their transparency, openness and empathy at every interaction. This made a significant difference at these key points of negotiation and helped to secure the deal.

We are extremely proud to have acquired Workpays and the Gerald Edelman Transaction team played a pivotal role not only in ensuring that this deal went through but that it went through smoothly. Their expert strategic advice was key in ensuring all investors and lenders were satisfied with all aspects of the deal – the accounts, the share purchase agreement, and the diligence. At all stages of the transaction, I was fortunate to be able to rely on their experience and knowledge to negotiate the transaction and structure the deal in a way that worked for everyone. It goes without saying that I recommend the team at Gerald Edelman to anyone who needs M&A and business advisory services and I’m looking forward to working with them again soon.

The Gerald Edelman team were instrumental at helping close Redpath Capital’s acquisition of Just Loos in June 2023. They provided reliable and consistent advice and were always available on a moment’s notice. They went above and beyond by helping with negotiation strategies (regardless of day and time) and by providing in-depth feedback on our financial model over its construction. It was a pleasure to work with them and would happily recommend them to our peers.
