CROs & CMOs

Contract research organisations (CROs) and contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs) are among the strongest growth sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, with many firms experiencing double-digit annual growth. We work with CROs and CMOs in organisation asset restructuring and building core divisions through M&A activity.

Our team has a strong track-record having advised on some of the most important deals in the space including INC Research on its merger with inVentiv, GHO Capital on its acquisition of Sterling Pharma and Linguamatics on its acquisition by IQVIA.

A combination of our deep sector knowledge and long-standing industry relationships enables us to get the best outcomes for our clients.
