Carve-out execution built for private equity dealmakers

We own the separation from pre-close to operational independence, so you stay focused on value creation and deal flow

About Us

We're a specialist M&A execution firm, focused exclusively on delivering carve-outs for private equity.


We partner with sponsors and management teams to manage the operational complexity of separation, from pre-close planning and Day 1 delivery to TSA exit and operational independence.


Our embedded operators bring structure, cadence, and accountability to every stage of delivery, helping clients avoid drift, absorb disruption, and maintain deal momentum.


We've protected billions in enterprise value. We've seen what works under pressure and what fails when stakes are highest.


That experience shaped our approach: structured execution with clear ownership, built specifically for private equity carve-out timelines.


We don't just advise clients how to separate; we get it done.

How We're Different

Carve-Out Specialists

Our deal leads run the Separation Management Office (SMO) with extensive hands-on experience delivering carve-outs for private equity clients. Our playbooks have been tested and refined across every engagement, and our digital delivery platform was built to give sponsors real-time visibility and insight.

End-to-End Ownership

When accountability splits across advisors, work streams and vendors, things fall through the cracks. We own the whole outcome, not just a piece of it. One point of accountability from pre-deal to operational independence.

Flexible Staffing Model

Every person on your programme is a senior practitioner who owns delivery. No engagement partners selling work they won't do. No junior teams learning on your deal. Start with one deal lead, add functional leads and support if the separation needs them.

Client Feedback

Client Feedback

Would we use Larkhill again? Without question. We win deals because we're willing to take on the complexity that others walk away from. Larkhill help us deliver on that.

Investment Director

UK Middle Market Fund

We needed the separation completed to a very tight timescale. Larkhill managed every workstream, chased every deadline, and gave us clear visibility throughout. It got done. On something this complex, that's all that matters.

After working with Larkhill on one of our European deals, we introduced them to several other teams across the firm. We only make internal referrals when a partner has really delivered.
