What M&A advisory covers
Mergers and acquisitions advisory is hands-on guidance for owners and buyers through a complex transaction: positioning the company, finding the right counterparty, structuring the deal and steering it to a successful close. Mava represents clients on both the buy side and the sell side across the tri-state area.
We bring discipline to every stage so you are never negotiating from a position of weakness, and we coordinate the specialists, lenders and attorneys a deal requires.
What is included
- Buy-side and sell-side representation

How it works
Strategy
We define your objectives, the ideal counterparty and the deal you want.
Outreach
We approach targets or buyers confidentially under NDA.
Structure & negotiate
We shape terms, price and structure to protect your position.
Diligence & close
We manage diligence and drive the deal to a clean closing.
Why it matters
A poorly run M&A process can cost an owner millions in value or sink a deal entirely. Experienced representation keeps leverage on your side, surfaces risks early and turns a chaotic process into a controlled one.

Frequently asked questions
Do you represent buyers or sellers?
We represent both buyers and sellers. Whether you are acquiring a company or selling one, our advisory team works only in your interest on your side of the deal.
How is M&A advisory different from business brokerage?
Brokerage focuses on marketing and selling a business, while M&A advisory adds deeper deal structuring, negotiation strategy and integration for more complex transactions. Many engagements use both.
What is post-merger integration?
It is the work of combining two organizations after a deal closes, from systems and staff to operations and culture, so the value you paid for is actually realized.
How long does an M&A process take?
Most processes run several months from preparation to close, depending on size and complexity. We give you a realistic timeline at the outset.
