Mergers & acquisitions

What should you best be taking into account when selling your business or buying another business?

See Overview

Valuations
For organisations involved in a transaction, dispute, merger, acquisition or restructuring, the value of the company involved and its assets will be an important commercial consideration. A clear and thoughtful view of the respective value is therefore essential in such situations.
Due diligence
Due diligence identifies risks and examines potential financial, tax, legal or operational pitfalls. We offer robust due diligence services, clearly tailored to our clients' requirements.
Independent trusted advice
Do you want to sell your business or rather grow it through an acquisition?
Corporate reorganisations
Redesigning your group structure can mean significant cost savings and/or efficiency improvements. The restructuring provisions of the Companies and Associations Code (merger, demerger, contribution or transfer of branch of activity, etc.) provide you with the legal means to achieve this.
Legal support
Mergers and acquisitions represent a challenge for dynamic organisations. As a manager or entrepreneur, you want to look at this challenge from all sides to obtain the best conditions. That is why our professionals work on the basis of integral process management during merger, sale or acquisition processes.
