We attend the AM&AA (Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors) annual conference. These conferences brought 500+ lower middle market M&A professionals (Investment bankers, Private Equity Groups, Accountants, Lawyers and other transactional professionals). AM&AA members represent sellers and buyers of businesses ranging from $5 to $500 million in transaction value. We met in person Private Equity Groups and Family Offices that are actively seeking equity investment opportunities in Canada. The AM&AA conference provides us with a network of knowledgeable professionals with whom we can share information, resources, and deals
Business Strategy
Business strategy mandates at Devcas revolve mainly around strategic planning exercises, organizing and leading business retreats, and coaching on specific strategic issues.
Business strategy mandates are increasingly likely to be an integral part of merger & acquisition mandates.

This participatory approach facilitates the development of constructive and timely responses to the challenges your company is facing and creates optimal conditions for the implementation of the strategies identified
