Highly sophisticated business consulting and advisory services can be provided to a client by Steve Landsman through Creative Capital Advisors, Inc. The combination of Mr. Landsman’s degree from The Wharton School of Finance of The University of Pennsylvania, his service as a Director of a New York Stock Exchange listed Fortune 500 company, his constant direct relationships with senior management of his clients, and his successful handling of countless domestic and cross border matters and transactions across a very broad range of industries make Mr. Landsman particularly well-qualified to provide practical, in depth and comprehensive business analysis and advice on a cost-efficient basis.

One area of service that is worthy of special mention results from Mr. Landsman’s many years of successfully consummating mergers, corporate carve outs and other acquisition and divestiture transactions, on both the buy side and the sell side, as well as his service as Co-Chair of the U.S. Mergers & Acquisitions Practice Group of one of the largest global law firms in the world. In the M&A context, Mr. Landsman would be able to provide any or all of the following services:

• Provide insight as to what a client needs to do to prepare the company for sale, a capital or debt raise or a joint venture or strategic alliance;
• Work with in-house counsel who may not have M&A expertise so that such counsel can properly understand and manage the process;
• Act as liaison between in-house counsel or the company (where there is no in-house counsel) and outside legal counsel to monitor both the services of outside counsel, as well as the billings for the project;
• Attend interviews and presentations of investment bankers, outside legal counsel and other potential consultants which are being considered to work on the transaction; and
• Provide advice on how to avoid the pitfalls that give the Buyer leverage to re-negotiate the economic terms of the deal.
