Watch our webinar: Carve outs, Divestments and Spin-Offs – How to Sell Businesses and Assets

15 February 2022

In 2021 we saw an increasing number of carve out transactions as businesses spun off non-core or non-performing businesses or sold businesses to obtain capital for other activities. These types of transactions continue to accelerate as companies emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.
