L.E.K. Consulting

Operations & Organization

Transaction Services

Post-M&A integration is one of the most complex, high-risk initiatives a company can undertake, with some reports citing that at least 50% of acquisitions fail to deliver expected synergies. L.E.K. has created a post-deal planning approach to managing the post-acquisition period and providing a roadmap for future success. Our proven methodology provides a framework for evaluating and monitoring progress based around financial, operational and cultural deliverables. L.E.K. provides comprehensive support for domestic and international mergers, including delivery and Program Management Office (PMO) support, change management, synergy identification, quantification and delivery.

L.E.K.'s extensive experience across a broad array of industries and transactions enables us to handle complexities such as Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) that are often associated with significant monthly costs, meaning that exiting the TSA is a priority.
