Mergers, transformations, transactions (M&A)

About Specialisation 

Mergers, acquisitions, sales, conversions, and divisions of organisations are among our core specialisations. Every business faces constant changes and we understand that these changes often involve the need to alter the business structure, attract investors, secure financing or manage entry or exit strategies. 

Whether your plan involves internal reorganisation (intra-group transactions), dynamic growth through the purchase or acquisition of another company or exiting the business (i.e. selling shares), we know how to execute these actions safely, optimally for all parties and with minimal operational and tax costs. One of our strengths is handling projects related to tech/IT companies and online shops, as we have extensive knowledge of these sectors. 

Each year, we advise on more than a dozen such processes, many of which involve cross-border elements, real estate and negotiations with demanding partners from around the globe. We also coordinate the efforts of law firms from various countries to ensure smooth execution. 

How We Can Help: 

• Preparing companies for sale, division, transformation and other transactions, including pre-due diligence. 

• Conducting due diligence (DD) on businesses or their assets (resources) to assess legal risks. 

• Developing transaction structures and timelines, identifying legal and business requirements and minimising tax and operational costs. 

• Preparing draft agreements for the sale of shares, assets (company resources), parts of a business or investment agreements. 

• Developing security mechanisms for both parties, including payment terms and seller’s liability. 

• Negotiating contracts and transaction documentation, including necessary corporate documentation (i.e. amendments to the memorandum or articles of association). 

• Organising and assisting with notarial appointments, expert consultations and company or asset valuations. 

• • Preparing post-transaction documentation, registering changes in relevant registers and supporting post-transaction integration of companies (including employee acquisition, databases, customers and licences).
