Client Comment:

ICON ran a global sales process, which yielded the very best outcome for AVISA’s shareholders. We are a global business and it was important for us to appoint advisers with international reach. They ran a slick process which achieved a healthy competitive deal - all to timetable from appointment to completion. They are certainly a team you want on your side when selling your business, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
