Our role in the transaction
Oaklins’ team in Canada successfully managed a sell-side auction process on behalf of the Normand brothers. In doing so, the team further demonstrated its unique expertise in family business transition. These are emotionally-charged processes in which Oaklins excels, where value maximization matters nearly as much as the preservation of the business culture and stakeholders’ respect.
