Our Presence
With strategically located offices across North America and extensive global relationships, Seale & Associates is well-positioned to offer local expertise and global insights. Our extensive network of long-standing relationships across the globe enables us to execute on cross-border M&A and corporate finance assignments.
The US–Mexico Corridor
Few advisory firms operate on both sides of the border the way Seale & Associates does. With senior bankers based in Washington, D.C., Miami, Mexico City, Monterrey, and San Luis Potosí, we advise US companies acquiring or divesting in Mexico and Mexican companies pursuing transactions in the United States — in both languages, under both regulatory frameworks.
As nearshoring reshapes North American supply chains under the USMCA, manufacturers, industrial companies, and their investors increasingly evaluate acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures along the US–Mexico corridor. Our cross-border experience across industrial, manufacturing, and consumer sectors helps clients understand what their business is worth, who the natural buyers are, and how to run a competitive process on either side of the border.
Industry Experience
Our transaction experience spans the industrial and manufacturing sectors that drive the North American economy. Each industry page includes representative transactions, the advisors who led them, and specialized M&A reports.

M&A Advisory, Answered
What does an M&A advisor do?
An M&A advisor guides a company through the sale, acquisition, or restructuring of a business: preparing the company and its financial information, valuing the business, identifying and approaching qualified buyers or targets, running a competitive process, and negotiating terms through closing. At Seale & Associates, senior bankers lead every stage of the engagement.
What types of companies does Seale & Associates advise?
We advise family-owned and privately held companies, public and multinational corporations, and private equity funds and family offices. Our engagements span sell-side and buy-side M&A, divestitures, corporate carve-outs, valuations, and corporate finance advisory across a broad range of industries.
Does Seale advise on cross-border US–Mexico transactions?
Yes. Cross-border advisory is one of the firm's defining strengths. With offices in Washington, D.C., Miami, Mexico City, Monterrey, and San Luis Potosí, our bilingual teams advise US companies transacting in Mexico and Mexican companies transacting in the United States, including opportunities driven by nearshoring under the USMCA.
How long does the sale of a company typically take?
Timelines vary with preparation, industry, and the universe of likely buyers, but a well-run sale process typically takes several months from preparation to closing. Early preparation — clean financial information, a clear growth story, and realistic valuation expectations — is the single best way to shorten it.
Where can I read Seale's M&A market reports?
We publish monthly M&A reports for Mexico, the United States, and Colombia, along with specialized industry reports. They are available in our Insights section, and you can subscribe to receive them by email each month.
