Sawaya Segalas has extensive experience working with corporations, boards of directors, and private equity firms in the evaluation and execution of corporate divestitures. Clients value our ability to quickly understand the rationale and objectives for considering a divestiture and our ability to achieve outstanding results while maintaining the highest level of confidentiality. We believe that our proven ability to develop effective working relationships with senior corporate executives, corporate functional groups (legal, accounting, human resources, etc) and division management is a key factor in achieving successful divestiture outcomes.
