The Due Diligence and M&A advisory service is designed to support companies and investors during the stages of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes, ensuring thorough analysis and optimal management of legal, financial and reputational risks. In the competitive and regulated environment of M&A transactions, thorough due diligence is crucial for making informed decisions and ensuring successful transactions.
Our team, composed of lawyers and experts, offers a specialised and customised advisory service with a focus on data protection and information security analyses, fully covering all the needs in this respect of those about to undertake an M&A transaction:
- Legal Due Diligence: This process allows the identification and evaluation of potential risks that could affect the value of the transaction, providing a clear and detailed framework on which to base strategic decisions.
- Support at all stages of M&A: we assist during all phases of a merger or acquisition transaction, from the initial negotiation to the closing of the transaction. The service includes drafting gap analyses, reviewing relevant contracts and agreements, assisting in negotiations with counterparties and managing negotiations with regulatory authorities.
- Compliance management: The team ensures that the M&A transaction complies with all local and international regulations, including antitrust, data protection, and competition protection obligations. This also includes the management of notification and approval requirements by regulatory authorities.
- Risk assessment and mitigation: Through in-depth due diligence, we identify the risks associated with the transaction and propose solutions to mitigate them and protect the client’s interests. This process allows the transaction to be structured so that legal and financial risks are minimised, maximising the value of the investment.
- Post-acquisition integration: After the closing of the transaction, we support companies in the integration phase, helping to manage the legal and operational challenges associated with merging corporate entities. This includes managing regulatory compliance, reorganising corporate structures, and aligning internal policies.
