The Practice – A Brief Sketch

The Technology M&A team helps clients navigate the technology implications of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, joint ventures, and Technology transformations. We work across the transaction lifecycle, with a strong focus on post-deal signing activities including sign-to-close planning, Day 1 readiness, integration planning, separation planning, TSA strategy and exit planning, and execution through Integration Management Offices (IMO) and Separation Management Offices (SMO).

Our professionals help clients identify and realize transaction value while managing technology risks, operational dependencies, and transformation opportunities. We work closely with executive leadership, business stakeholders, and technology teams to design and execute integration and separation strategies that enable successful transaction outcomes.

Key Responsibilities
• Support technology workstreams across M&A transactions.
• Support sign-to-close planning, Day 1 readiness, integration and separation activities.

• Assist with TSA planning and TSA exit activities.
• Analyze technology risks, dependencies, synergies, and costs.
• Develop client deliverables, analyses, business cases, and executive presentations.

• Data center, network, workplace, hosting, and end-user computing environments.
• Infrastructure TSA planning and exit execution.

3. Enterprise Architecture & IT Operating Model Transformation
• Enterprise architecture assessments and target-state design.
• Application portfolio rationalization and technology roadmap development.
• IT operating model design and transformation.
• Technology governance, capability models, and organizational design considerations during integrations and separations.

Candidates should possess a good understanding of at least one of these technology domains and be able to assess the impact of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and carve-outs on the associated technology landscape. They should be comfortable identifying key risks, dependencies, integration opportunities, and separation considerations to support transaction planning and execution.
