Combining these in the best possible way has lead Blacktrace to where it stands today. Thanks to its structure, Blacktrace is flexible and can respond to client wishes faster than a large corporate could. Client centricity is key in the M&Amarket, and as such, the firm offers its clients valuable specialism when needed most. The team at Blacktrace takes care of the process from the beginning to end, and is available to clients on a 24/7 basis, which enables it to respond quickly when necessary and provide clients with the reassurance that they are truly in safe hands.

It is fully committed to each task and adopts a responsible attitude vis-à-vis shareholders, directors, managers, employees, customers, suppliers, providers of finance, counterparties, and other stakeholders during negotiation processes. Drawing on its experience in the market, Blacktrace recognises that successful cross-border transactions require eyes and ears in places that matter. That is why the firm has increased its efforts to further grow its worldwide network of likeminded M&A boutiques called World M&A Alliance (WMAA). Its current reach stretches from New York to Delhi, from Milan to São Paulo, from Madrid to Sydney. WMAA works with preferred partnerships, having one member per country. Members collaborate on a day-to-day basis and pitch together for deals that need an international project team. Moreover, annual conferences stimulate bilateral contacts. As an example, Blacktrace currently works together on a project with its Irish partner, and as part of this collaborative approach, the firm is able to better support its clients internationally. Meanwhile, the pandemic and related uncertainty in each and every market posed various difficulties for Blacktrace, its clients, and other businesses, but it also brought opportunities and highlighted successes of particular players. The challenges Blacktrace faced were overcome by focusing on the winners and their achievements. Despite the outbreak, it added to its track record various exceptional transactions.
