Rabobank in business

In terms of transactions, Corporate Advisory’s activities cover a broad spectrum: including general deal co-ordination, valuation, deal structuring, process management, transaction documentation, financial analyses, communication with and guidance of other advisors and stakeholders, communication with financial authorities, assistance in deal negotiations, and - if needed - advice on the funding of the transaction. In addition to our skills with general M&A transactions, we possess expertise in a number of specialist advisory mandates, such as delistings that demand a deep knowledge of regulatory issues and specialist project execution skills, complex valuation matters and asset-liability structures. Furthermore, the Corporate Advisory team can advise clients in restructuring cases or in buy-and-build situations.

Corporate Advisory focuses on Dutch-linked M&A transactions, mainly advising Dutch clients in their home market or foreign clients looking for an acquisition in the Netherlands. Our Market Position Corporate Advisory Service is a leading M&A advisor in the Dutch market. Over the last few years, it has earned a reputation as a reliable partner that offers first-class advice – a reputation that is evidenced by our top 2 position in large-size deals with Dutch companies. The Corporate Advisory's M&A advisory team focuses on large to medium sized transactions and is divided into 3 groups of expertise: General Industries, Food & Agri, and Financial Sponsors. Small to medium sized transactions are executed by Rabo Securities' subsidiary Rembrandt Fusies & Overnames.
