In the area of business services, the focus is on recurring revenues, scalable models and the consolidation of fragmented markets.
The market for business-related services ranging from IT services, personnel services and facility management to specialised consulting firms offers ideal conditions for value-adding M&A strategies. ROHDE BAIER advises investors and entrepreneurs on platform acquisitions and add-on transactions, management buy-outs and exits from service companies. We understand the contractual and regulatory particularities of the sector: framework agreements and customer retention mechanisms, labour law issues relating to the transfer of undertakings and the hedging of key person risks in the transaction.
Our clients are private equity firms that are setting up buy-and-build platforms in the business services segment, medium-sized service companies that are preparing a change of shareholder, and strategic buyers that are expanding their service portfolio through targeted acquisitions. We create transaction structures that ensure operational continuity while balancing the interests of all parties involved.
ROHDE BAIER combines transactional legal expertise with an understanding of the operational value drivers in service companies.
