Advisory

Our Managing Directors have been engaged in advising clients with sophisticated subject matter financial advisory assignments in our core industry focus, especially regarding sustainable and energy technologies. These assignments have included:

• Advice and assistance relating to lending, guarantee and grant programs offered by the U.S. Department of Energy, including the Loan Programs Office (LPO), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
• Fairness opinions
• Spin-out and joint venture strategy, valuation and negotiation
• Shareholder value enhancement strategy
• Shareholder Value Studies
• Acquisition valuation
• Negotiation strategy
• Strategy, valuation and investment bank selection for initial public offerings (IPO) and follow-on offerings on the US and London stock exchanges

We are particularly well positioned to assist clients of small-capitalization public companies that may be overlooked by larger investment banks that will not offer research coverage to small companies. We do not provide equity research coverage, although we are positioned to publish institutional Shareholder Value Studies for companies in our industry focus sector to highlight emerging opportunities or appeal to institutional Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) investors.

Our Managing Directors have been engaged in over 75 prior advisory engagements.
