Sterne & Co. LLC excels at originating, executing and closing a wide variety of transactions. We are experienced at identifying, approaching, valuing and negotiating with acquisition targets.

For one client, we screened 185 targets against his acquisition criteria to identify the ten best candidates and subsequently advised on the purchase of one of the identified targets.

Venture capital firms hire us to sell portfolio companies that have peaked in value and are unsuited for an initial public offerings. We work with the management teams to find buyers that offer strong synergies and good corporate cultures as well as the highest price.

Restructurings are often the most interesting transactions. We help insolvent companies define a sustainable cost structure and then find new investment capital through a private placement to accredited investors. Often restructuring or insolvencies involve a management buy-out. Finally, we assist our clients in forming strategic partnerships with technology, channel and service partners.
