Forvis Mazars recognised as a top global transaction services firm

Forvis Mazars is recognised among the highest-ranked transaction services firms in the world, reaching eighth place worldwide and sixth in Southern Europe, in Mergermarket’s league tables.

Over the past 12 months, Forvis Mazars has worked in a number of outstanding global deals, demonstrating its expertise in complex, high-value and cross-border transactions, and the strength of its advice on financial, tax, legal and social due diligence, valuations, sale and purchase support. This was achieved despite a downward trend in overall M&A transaction volumes across industries.

Highlights in Italy

AXA’s acquisition of Prima Assicurazioni (France and Italy) – provided buy-side financial due diligence, business plan review and M&A PMO support on the acquisition of a 51% stake (valued at €500m) of Prima Assicurazioni, a leading direct motor insurance operator.

Bain Capital, Columbia Threadneedle and QuinSpark’s acquisition of Pullman Paris Montparnasse (France) – provided buy-side due diligence on the acquisition of the hotel from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

The Mergermarket transaction services league tables rank the top firms in the transaction services space based on the number of deals that include a change of economic ownership by registered or fully operational companies or their assets.
