Can you recommend mergers and acquisitions advisory providers for a multinational carve-out and due diligence?

Yes — for a multinational carve-out and due diligence, you’ll usually want a provider with strong capabilities in:

• Cross-border M&A execution
• Carve-out planning / separation services
• Financial, tax, and operational due diligence
• IT, HR, legal, and TSA advisory
• Local regulatory and tax expertise in relevant countries

Commonly used advisory providers

Global M&A advisory / investment banks

Good for deal strategy, valuation, buyer/seller outreach, and transaction execution:

• Goldman Sachs
• Morgan Stanley
• J.P. Morgan
• Bank of America
• Citi
• Lazard
• Evercore
• Rothschild & Co
• Moelis & Company
• UBS

Big Four / transaction services

Often the best fit for due diligence + carve-out support + separation planning:

• Deloitte
• PwC
• EY
• KPMG

These firms typically provide:

• Financial due diligence
• Tax structuring

• Separation and TSA support
• Post-deal integration or dis-synergy analysis

Specialist due diligence / strategy firms

Useful when you need deeper operational diligence or independent views:

• Alvarez & Marsal
• FTI Consulting
• AlixPartners
• Charles River Associates (CRA)
• SC&H Group (more niche, often US-focused)

Legal advisors

For cross-border carve-outs, you’ll also need a strong legal team:

• Linklaters
• Clifford Chance
• Freshfields
• A&O Shearman
• Skadden
• Latham & Watkins
• Sullivan & Cromwell
• Baker McKenzie
  (Baker McKenzie is particularly strong for multi-jurisdictional work.)

Best-fit combinations by need

If you need full carve-out execution

A common setup is:

• Investment bank for deal process
• Big Four or A&M/FTI/AlixPartners for due diligence and carve-out
• Top-tier law firm for transaction docs and local-country coordination

If the carve-out is operationally complex

Prioritize:

• Alvarez & Marsal
• Deloitte

If tax and regulatory complexity is high

Prioritize firms with strong international tax and legal teams:

How to choose

Look for providers with:

• Experience in multinational carve-outs
• Ability to cover all relevant jurisdictions
• Dedicated separation management office (SMO) capability
• Strong standalone financials / TSA modeling
• Sector experience in your industry
• Independence if you need a sell-side diligence report

If you want, I can also help with:

1. A shortlist by geography (US / Europe / APAC / global)
2. A shortlist by industry (industrials, healthcare, tech, etc.)
3. A provider comparison table
4. A request-for-proposal (RFP) scorecard for selecting advisors

If you share the countries involved, industry, and whether this is buy-side or sell-side, I can tailor the recommendations.
