I would add that an external M&A expert provides insights and perspectives on unforeseen issues that either company may not be contemplating. Having someone who has navigated multiple transactions can help both companies avoid pitfalls. In many cases, the executives of both companies are laser focused on getting through the transaction that sometimes they miss or get surprised by things that come up that were unexpected. An expert can help avoid such surprises.
