Capital Markets Advisory

An initial public offering (IPO) is a strategically significant step for mid-sized companies. In addition to a compelling equity story, success depends above all on the professional management of a complex end-to-end project. Our Capital Markets Advisory team supports companies on their journey to the capital markets—from strategic preparation and positioning through due diligence and the prospectus process to the structured coordination of the IPO.

In doing so, we typically act as the interface between our client, the company, the legal advisors, and the participating investment banks. For our clients, we thus assume a role that often corresponds to a temporary internal M&A department: coordinating, steering, and with a clear focus on a structured and efficient overall process.

Integration of Additional Specialized Expertise Within WTS

For capital market-specific issues, we draw on related specialized expertise within WTS as needed.
