M&A Due Diligence

Frank Crystal's Mergers and Acquisitions Practice is comprised of a team of specialists dedicated to providing consultative due diligence expertise and creative risk management solutions to the Private Equity community, as well as our corporate clients.

Our national practice, headquartered in New York, provides a comprehensive, financially oriented diligence product focusing on Property and Casualty and well as Employee Benefits insurance expense and efficacy, both on a pre- and post-closing basis, as well as providing, and often, creating transactional risk transfer-based solutions to deal obstacles.

Our team has collectively worked on over 5,000 transactions, and average 15 years of diligence experience.

Our pre-closing diligence is conducted with a long term focus in mind; we work to understand the long term financial goals and expectations of the client. Our post-closing service teams are chosen at the onset of an assignment, and incorporated into the diligence process. This eliminates communication gaps, and at closing, the service team has a full understanding of not only the risk management needs of the company, but also the overlying investment strategy of the sponsor. This ensures that insurance programs are built and maintained with a focus on the business as well as the financial goals of the company.

Our team has diligence expertise across nearly all industries, including:

  • Aviation
  • Environmental
  • Biopharmaceutical/Biotechnology
  • Construction/Infrastructure
  • Energy/Oil & Gas
  • Financial Institutions/Insurance
  • Hospitality
  • Restaurants
  • Retail
  • Transportation/Logistics
  • Manufacturing/Distribution
