• M&A

    While we consult on various kinds of transactions, M&A is our core activity. We always collaborate with one party exclusively, to avoid any conflict of interest.

    We are involved on every aspect of every deal, anticipating transaction developments but also post-transaction impact and consequences.

    From the initial strategic analysis to the deal completion, through identification of potential partners, financial valuation, negotiation and deal structuring, we make sure we provide the most accurate, objective and best informed advice to our clients.

    To optimize the transaction process, we are usually its sole interlocutor and we coordinate with all other advisors – legal, tax, accounting.

    We cover all areas of M&A, including sales, acquisitions, leveraged operations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures and licensing transactions.

  • Strategic Advisory & Corporate Finance

    GA advises its clients over the long run and consults on various strategic and financial issues, including overall strategy, business development, distribution issues, restructuring, IPO, ownership/liquidity objectives, etc.

    We develop strategic and financial business plans and also provide valuation advice. For valuation in life sciences, we work in close collaboration with Swiss company AVANCE (www.avance.ch)

  • Investment & Development

    As entrepreneurs, we co-develop innovative ventures in which we are also investors. We are involved in the management of these ventures at key stages of their development: definition of business model & market strategy ; team structuring ; business planning ; financing ; legal and IP issues ; establishment of partnerships or licensing agreements ; etc.

    Frederic Gilg and Armen Verdian – founding partners

    After having both worked for prestigious investment banks and strategic consulting firms, we founded GA to offer to company decision-makers the best informed and sharpest advice, based on tailor-made strategic analysis and resulting in outstanding transaction execution.

    We stand by creative and daring leaders aiming at transforming their vision into value and achieving their objectives – not just doing a deal. Our code of ethics? We like success stories. We are selective in the assignments we accept and commit when we believe in a vision, when we are convinced by a project and by the men and women driving it.

    We are serial-entrepreneurs ourselves. We therefore not only give advice, but also invest our time and money for innovative projects, in which we are fully involved in the long term. We build for ourselves and help others to build.
