The situation

A European strategic wanted to enter the Uzbek IT-services market to expand its nearshore delivery capacity. It needed a proprietary origination path, disciplined diligence, and a structure that worked for both sides on tax, IP, and people.

Our approach

  • Proprietary origination against defined acquisition criteria
  • Valuation and disciplined negotiation of headline and structure
  • Cross-border tax, IP, and legal coordination
  • Post-close integration planning across people and clients

The outcome

  • Clean acquisition with retention terms for key engineers
  • Cross-border tax and IP structure optimised on both sides
  • Continuity of client relationships through and after transition

Note

Illustrative case study. Actual client identities and terms are only shared under NDA.
