OVERVIEW

TRANSACTION ADVISORY SERVICES

DCS offers comprehensive world-class transaction advisory services to both public sector and private sector clients across all sectors that we cover, including infrastructure, energy & utilities, industrials, oil & gas and real estate sectors. On behalf of either our "buy side" or "sell side" clients, we assemble all necessary financial, legal, technical and commercial skill sets in order to most favorably and efficiently execute any type of transaction including: (i) new-build ("greenfield") project development, finance, construction projects; (ii) renewal/rehabilitation/expansion ("brownfield") development, finance and construction projects; (iii) decommissioning and environmental rehabilitation projects; (iv) business and asset sale and lease, concession and franchising transaction; and, (v) refinancing/restructuring and workout transactions. We are accustomed to providing our transaction advisor services related to a wide variety of transaction designs and strategies, including competitive tender/auctions, negotiated (public-to-private, private-to-public, private-to-private and public-to-public) or a hybrid structure involving elements of both competitive tender and negotiated strategies. Furthermore, we can provide independent review and advise as to the most appropriate structure given the specific circumstances of the transaction. The following links provide additional information on the specific types of transactional services that we offer to our public sector and private sector clients:

In order to complement the core transactional advisory services above, DCS advisors are also prepared to provide the following complementary services, as needed, depending on the specific needs of the client's transaction needs.

Under any transaction advisory mandate, DCS will draw from our global network of veteran industry expert advisor affiliates and relationship consultants in order to assemble the most appropriate team to match the specific needs of the transaction at hand. This will always include leadership of DCS affiliate experts who possess decades of global transactional experience related to the specific sector and transaction type. In any transaction advisory service mandate, our preferred role is always to serve as the lead project/program manager. Within this role we are also able to assist in the selection and procurement (or subcontracting) and management of other advisors, including local and international legal, technical, tax, commercial and due diligence advisors or other specialized advisors, as the specific transaction may require. To the extent that other third-party advisors are required, there are many value added advantages of allowing DCS to assist in the procurement of these advisors. First, DCS expert affiliates themselves possess many of the legal, technical, commercial and managerial skill sets and we are best positioned to determine which additional outside third-party skill sets are required and which firms or individuals should be hired in these roles. Secondly, transaction advisors are often very complex undertakings, requiring the management and coordination of many simultaneous workstreams. DCS advisors are experts inproject and program management services and are ideally suited to manage and coordinate a multi-dimensional advisory team most efficiently and effectively.
