Leonis Partners excels in identifying each client’s key objectives and custom tailoring a unique process to yield world-class results. This begins with a deep understanding of our clients’ short and long term goals of price and valuation, transaction structure, ownership retention, strategic timing, employee needs, and other key factors. Only after fully appreciating the objectives do we design a process that optimizes for those targets. Our bankers achieve these objectives by using our deep domain expertise and a wide-reaching industry-specific network of key decision makers at the “right” buyers to create a highly competitive process that uses timing considerations and manipulative negotiations to maximize valuations.

Access to Key Decision Makers
Our industry-specific experience enables continual dialogue with the broad spectrum of potential buyers and investors. We know what Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Strategic Corporate buyers focus on. We manage our engagement to match their complex internal processes, navigating internal bureaucracy, to connect our clients with the decision makers needed to sponsor and drive a transaction to close.
Optimizing Timing
Leonis takes advantage of both internal and external events to catalyze buyer behavior. We use internal, pre-planned timing events to guide buyers towards historical strengths, future prospects, and the unique value drivers of every company. We are always cognizant of external events to accelerate or decelerate processes, allowing the right buyers to behave most aggressively.
Highly Competitive Customized Process
Leonis maintains control of the transaction at all times to enhance our client’s negotiating leverage. We identify alternative paths on a buyer-specific level and run them in a pattern that ensures the best bidders can all be involved in the process concurrently. Our focus on non-exclusivity for as long as possible is coupled with transparency and consistent communication to allow us to create the maximum level of competitive pressure amongst buyers. We drive the process throughout the transaction and provide our client with clear advice at every point of the transaction.
