Mergers & Acquisitions
The challenge of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and strategic alliances is to ensure that the projected value in the deal is realized.
Every corporate transaction demands the right structure, careful risk analysis and forward planning to deliver value and convince the market that the deal makes sense. The anti-trust, regulatory and governance issues must be understood. The finance, tax, employment and intellectual property requirements must be aligned with the strategic objectives of the deal.
How We Can Help:
- Post M&A transaction support : We support clients in creating value from acquisitions by planning for tax efficient post-acquisition integration or post-divestiture reorganization as part of the deal process.
- Integration planning : Our integration planning also seeks to leverage the commercial synergies of the deal by focusing on achieving the most favorable finance, employee benefits and trading structures.
- Mitigation of risks : We protect the value in the deal by using well-established processes to identify, analyze and plan for the mitigation of the risks arising in corporate transactions.
- Efficient and reliable deal execution : We achieve this by project managing our deals and exploiting our long established national and cross-border transaction manage ment procedures.
- Neutralizing cross-border risk : There are no surprises on our cross-border deals. Our lawyers anticipate the issues likely to be faced not only in their own country but also in the other countries involved.
