Posting Description:
**Transaction Solutions/M&A Broker**:
**About Aon**

Aon plc (Aon) is a leading global professional services firm, headquartered in London, serving 120 countries and ranked as one of the largest insurance brokers in the world based on revenues. The group provides a broad range of advice and solutions in five areas:

- Commercial Risk Solutions
- Reinsurance Solutions
- Retirement Solutions
- Health Solutions
- Data & Analytic Services

**About AMATS**:
Aon’s Mergers and Acquisitions and Transactions Solutions (AMATS) practice sits within Commercial Risk Solutions and is a global team of diverse experts focused on driving the greatest return, whilst minimising risk for every deal. The team is focused on deal value maximisation by providing a comprehensive view of risk, combining the right expertise with a personalised experience to seamlessly implement for the individual situation, and, delivering a unique mix of cross-industry knowledge to make the most of every opportunity

Why AMATS?

Higher demand for returns and tougher competition are making private equity and corporate M&A more risk averse than ever. With credit institutions more demanding and investors more aware, there is also greater pressure for accurate facts, figures and forecasts. Meanwhile, modernisation and cross-border proliferation means private equity houses and corporates are often dealing in unfamiliar sectors and regions. At Aon, the aim is to help create sustainable value in mergers, acquisitions and disposals from entry to exit.

**Clients**:
Private Equity Firms

Aon provides solutions and personalised services to their Private Equity clients. The team is comprised of lawyers and experienced M&A professionals, who work to translate the complex financial uncertainty of a deal to uncover opportunities, drive greater returns and help maximise deal success. As one of the global leaders in M&A risk management and transaction liability insurance, they have helped many firms realise deal success. With a passion for developing new and creative solutions and globally coordinated teams, they help in the assessment and management of deals across industries and across the globe at every stage of the lifecycle.

**Corporations**:
As corporations look to grow their businesses, enter new markets or restructure their organisation, Aon supports their efforts with tailored solutions to meet their unique and wide-ranging needs. From advising on the use of transaction liability to stay competitive in the deal process to protecting balance sheet from tax uncertainty to managing the scope of a potentially catastrophic lawsuit, Aon’s knowledge and experience with M&A and transactions can help bring certainty to uncertain events and help companies realise their goals.

**Lawyers and Professional Services Advisors**:
As former lawyers and M&A professionals, the M&A and Transaction Solutions teams work at aligning clients’ efforts with comprehensive solutions for every deal. Their first-hand knowledge of the deal cycle, deal timing and the need for detailed coordination allows them to deliver customised solutions to help strengthen their client’s position and further deepen relationships

**The role**:
Aon is currently recruiting a South Africa based **Transaction Solutions Broker** to join our global M&A and Transaction Solutions team (AMATS); the role is for an **experienced practitioner** with thorough commercial savvy and experience in working on sophisticated M&A transactions.

This would be an exciting role for a senior lawyer/accountant/investment professional with an entrepreneurial interest, wanting to make a move to the business side.

You will also be expected to play an active role in identifying possible opportunities for business expansion with an aim to increase Aon’s presence in the regional market.

You will advise on some of the most complex deals in the region offering Aon’s broad and deep expertise in a full range of risks and actively expand the AMATS client network.
