I believe that there should be a team managing the M&A process. Usually companies hire many consultants to complete the transaction including initial price negotiation, due diligence, and integration. However, an internal experienced team from the company is essential to ensure proper completion of each phase and alignment with the strategy of the acquiring company and management directives. Hiring consultants provides the shareholders and customers a certain level of confidence about the expected outcomes of the transaction.
