Transaction Services

 
Opportunities and Special Situations Transactions, including succession planning, mergers, and divestitures, can produce varied consequences. We deal in outcomes -- results that meet the goals of our clients. We specialize in publishers seeking to:
  • evolve a succession-planning strategy,
  • obtain a valuation for their business,
  • seek capital or recapitalization,
  • expand by acquisition and merger, or
  • divest selected assets, business units, or the company.
The great variety of publishers and transactions makes it difficult to codify exactly what we would do to help a potential client reach given goals. We therefore encourage publishers considering change to contact us, in confidence, by e-mail to pwadams@consultmoseley.com, telephone (212) 988-2834 or write
