Technology Transaction Experience

Our Deal Advisory practice includes more than 80 professionals, many of whom have significant deal advisory experience in technology and software, and are dedicated industry professionals. In addition to due diligence, our technology team is provides post-close services, including assurance, tax, risk and digital solutions.

Most notably, our technology team created the software industry standard debt underwriting tool (Recurring Revenue Valuation), which is used by leading senior and subordinated lenders across the country who finance companies within the software industry. The tool assigns an intrinsic value to a company’s software IP, based on a theoretical harvest/downside scenario in which the value is derived from retaining the company’s existing recurring revenue customer base with assumptions on future customer churn rates and operating expense structure. In connection with these transactions, we have analyzed hundreds of perpetual and SaaS businesses that are portfolio companies of some of the nation’s leading private equity firms and senior leaders.
