Mergers and acquisitions

Whether you are merging your business with another company or acquiring one. A merger or acquisition requires all parties involved to act carefully. After all, the consequences for your company can be far-reaching. Not only the opportunities and financial risks are important, but also the legal structure and the emotions of your people. Matters for the future must be properly arranged and unpleasant surprises avoided. It is therefore important to seek legal advice at an early stage to ensure the transaction goes smoothly and in a businesslike manner.

Our lawyers work throughout the entire merger or acquisition process. From letter of intent to closing the deal, often together with your accountant, tax advisor or notary. For example, support in drafting the sales memorandum and structuring the transaction, performing a due diligence and analyzing legal risks, drafting confidentiality agreements, consultation with banks and other financiers, drafting money loan agreements, drafting and assessing collateral contracts and guarantees, coordination with works council, supervisory directors and shareholders, assessment of competition law and co-determination law aspects, drafting and assessing takeover contracts, drafting shareholder agreements, etc. After a merger or acquisition has been realized, we support, for example, the implementation of necessary reorganizations (including personnel reorganizations) or provide advice and litigate on (guarantee) claims arising from the transaction.
