Trust needs confidence.
Building lasting trust in a company’s strategy, equity story, and management team requires the confidence of the capital market. This applies especially in situations such as M&A transactions, IPOs, and capital increases.
By presenting an equally attractive and realistic vision, along with a convincing depiction of the business model, long-term strategy, and corporate culture, companies can effectively differentiate themselves from their peer group in the market.
Credibility, transparency, continuity, and a coherent financial communication strategy are essential to driving long‑term value creation.
We advise listed and privately held companies, as well as owner‑managed businesses, on communication with shareholders, analysts, banks, and the financial and business media.
Our services include:
- Developing compelling, well‑substantiated arguments to build a strong equity story. We ensure your messages resonate across all key audiences: employees and works councils, investors and analysts, as well as the business and financial media.
- Structuring complex processes and ensuring optimal preparation, particularly in time‑critical situations such as transactions, acquisitions, or IPOs.
- Working closely with investment banks and law firms to provide reliable, targeted support for mergers and acquisitions—also internationally, in collaboration with our colleagues from the global H/Advisors network.
- Advising and supporting ongoing financial communication with a hands‑on approach and best‑practice standards—from quarterly results, annual press conferences, general meetings, and roadshows to the design and execution of investor days and perception studies.
- Supporting the development of IR organisations to ensure highly professional investor relations.
- Helping companies prepare for and defend against shareholder activism through our extensive experience with activist investors and deep understanding of the relevant players. This enables us to anticipate potential activist activity and build a strong defence in the event of a dispute.
