Case Study: Houlihan Lokey advances digital dealmaking with Datasite

How the crisis has brought M&A’s digital future closer

Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank, needed to maintain its M&A dealmaking and advisory services during the coronavirus outbreak, which halted traditional face-to-face negotiations. The bank turned to Datasite to facilitate a shift to a fully digital and virtual dealmaking process.

Datasite provided a virtual platform that enabled Houlihan Lokey's professionals to stay connected, negotiate deals, and conduct due diligence remotely. The solution proved to be an efficient and accepted substitute for in-person meetings, accelerating the automation of the M&A process and providing a glimpse into the future of dealmaking without replacing the essential role of the trusted advisor.
