Private Equity

Making smart, educated investments in market leading companies and partnering with proven management teams are of utmost priority for all private-equity firms.  With billions under management, it is critical to partner with successful management as well as outside advisors who will help ensure that acquisitions teams are properly researched and analyzed prior to close, and then develop and remain significant competitors in their respective industries for years to come.

Since our beginning, we at CMR have worked extensively with the Private Equity community  working side by side with them during the due diligence phase as well as post-close stewardship.  We look to identify areas of potential liability in an acquisition that can affect purchase price and/or future earnings.  In addition to our due diligence expertise, our extensive market resources The CMR Database® (over 5,500 Property & Casualty and Group Benefit broker specialists, broker/dealers and direct writers) allow us to pinpoint potential savings opportunities post close without any sacrifice of benefits or services.  It is our role to compliment our private equity partner's strategic purchasing plan with precise due diligence assistance and broad market  based analysis of post-close opportunities for improvement.


Areas of CMR Oversight:

• Acquisition consulting including Due Diligence (Property & Casualty and Group Benefits/Retirement)
• Advice on all contractual issues
• Pre-close and post-close client awareness of liabilities being assumed, avoided or transferred
• Assist with forecasting expenses and accruals
  
• Focus on issues that will affect purchase price and/or future earnings

• Address transactional issues - such as Directors' & Officers' run-off liabilities, reps and warranties, medical, pollution, etc.
• Assist with negotiations of more favorable post close coverage/benefits and/or pricing
• Look for post close opportunities for improvement, whether individually or portfolio wide
