Mergers and Acquisitions

We support mergers, acquisitions and share sales: from thorough legal due diligence on the target to drafting the agreements and completing the formalities.

Why work with a specialist?

A deal's value is not set by price alone, but by the obligations and hidden risks that due diligence reveals. A well-drafted agreement is what protects buyer and seller when the unexpected appears after completion.

Who is this service for?

  • Companies acquiring a company or a stake in one.
  • Owners selling all or part of their company.
  • Companies merging to combine their businesses.
  • Investors joining an existing company as partners.

Frequently asked questions

Why is due diligence important before buying?

It uncovers liabilities, disputes and violations that may not appear in the financial statements, and the buyer bases the price and protections on it.

Does an acquisition need government approval?

Some transactions require notification or approval from competent authorities depending on their size and nature; we identify this at the review stage.

How does the agreement protect the buyer after completion?

Through representations, warranties and indemnities that hold the seller responsible for pre-existing liabilities.
