Mergers & Acquisitions

There are two different types of acquisitions which we can provide assistance with. The business acquisition and a share acquisition whether an existing company , individual or the management is acting as seller or buyer, . In any of the scenarios, we can review the basic structure involved in the acquisition and the documentation involved in each case. The five relevant stages we can provide advice and representation on are the pre-contract stage, contract stage, pre-completion stage, completion and post completion stage. We will also review the various express and implied terms of the deal as well as identify the potential liabilities of the client and look for ways to minimise them through the negotiation of the disclosures and warranties in the transaction. We can assist with the preparation and negotiation of the acquisition agreement in both types of acquisitions , preparing or responding to the pre acquisition questionnaire and noting the issues regarding the effect of taxation , employees, ongoing trade matters, litigation , environmental and regulatory issues.
