MERGERS &
ACQUISITIONS
(M&A)
We counsel business and business owners in a wide range of transactions, including mergers, share or asset purchases (or sales), spin-offs, the formation of joint ventures and other transactions involving changes in ownership and managerial control. We assist our clients in implementing the strategic vision they have for their businesses. We guide clients through all stages of the deal, from pre-acquisition planning, to negotiations and structuring, to documentation, to closing and post-closing integration. Our lawyers have seasoned experience in the due diligence process, reviewing representations and warranties and advising on the potential risks associated with target assets.
WHY US?
Our clients’ M&A transactions often involve multiple jurisdictions. As experienced cross-border corporate finance lawyers, we routinely collaborate closely with local law firms and specialist counsel (where required) to help clients assess risks and challenges, structure and negotiate the deal appropriately and execute the transaction in a timely manner.
In addition to high-level technical capabilities, we are committed to understanding our clients’ businesses and objectives. By taking the time to better understand our clients’ goals, it helps us be better lawyers and allows us to provide top-notch client service and help our clients succeed in their transactions. We work to minimize post-closing risk to clients, whether as a buyer or seller of the business.
