Strategic Partnerships

San Francisco's financial district.

 

Strategic partnerships can be even more complex than acquisitions, as the relationship established now must last for years into the future. In addition, strategic partnerships can take many different forms. Baker Pacific will help find and evaluate partners and construct a partnership structure that satisfies the client company’s strategic objectives.
