Mergers & Acquisitions

REYL Intesa Sanpaolo acts for clients on the buy-side and on the sell-side, on Swiss and cross-border transactions ranging from an enterprise value of EUR/USD 50m, up to several billions. The Corporate Finance team provides valuation advice, identifies buyers, prepares marketing documents, manages public and private auction processes and leads negotiations until financial close.

It also advises prospective buyers in identifying and contacting potential targets, coordinates financial and legal due diligence and secures acquisition financing.

Equity Capital Markets

REYL Intesa Sanpaolo provides advice on the execution and negotiation of equity transactions as well as optimal company valuation, process coordination and optimal group reorganisation to meet listing standards, including fast evolving sustainability requirements.
