Established in 2004, Spayne Lindsay & Co. has advised on over 150 completed transactions with a combined value of c.$20 billion. Our significant experience and execution capabilities allow us to deliver best outcomes and exceed our clients’ expectations. We are committed consumer sector specialists, offering leading expertise and insights across food & beverage, retail and consumer products and restaurants and leisure. This means we know the buyers of businesses, their current attitude to transactions, how they behave in auctions and understand the nuances and complexities in the full range of consumer business enabling us to deliver strong results for all our clients. The best advice is shaped not simply by the market now, but also by what is going to happen in the future. We strive to focus on future trends in consumer behaviour; more up-to-date in our knowledge of important technological breakthroughs; more in tune with markets, new definitions of old markets and new channels to the customer, and to be in contact with high growth companies as well as emerging management talent. We adopt a very ‘hands-on’ and committed approach to deal execution preferring to take a partnership approach to all our assignments. This sees us work closely with our clients through all stages of transactions from initial preparation and planning to agreeing the final legal documentation. Uniquely, we remain heavily involved throughout the negotiation and legal documentation phases working alongside our clients until the transaction is complete ensuring they achieve their strategic goals.
