Mergers and Acquisitions
 
  The M&A record speaks for itself:
 
   
PALADIN There is a high rate of failure among acquirers--but this failure rate is attributable to factors which can (and should) be managed.
PALADIN Properly executed merger strategies can and will create shareholder value.
PALADIN Success comes from a systematic view that links the entire process together--from initial M&A strategy through integration of acquired companies. Value and risk should be managed from this systematic perspective.
PALADIN Post-merger integration is more a science than an art--knowing the way around the merger minefield guarantees success. However each integration has unique needs which need to be addressed.
