M&A
Buy-side and sell-side transactions, from first NDA to post-closing integration.
SME transactions rarely fail on price. They fail on undisclosed liabilities, unclear IP ownership, key-person dependency and an earn-out nobody can calculate two years later. We run the legal workstream so those issues surface early enough to be priced or fixed.
What we do
Due diligence
Legal due diligence across corporate, contracts, employment, IP and compliance, reported as a risk list with recommended remedies, not a document dump.
Transaction documents
Share and asset purchase agreements, representations and warranties, disclosure letters, escrow and W&I insurance interaction.
Deal structuring
Share versus asset deal analysis, carve-outs, succession and family-business handovers, and management participation on the buy side.
Signing to integration
Conditions precedent, merger control and regulatory notifications, closing mechanics, and post-closing employment and contract migration.
Typical situations we are called in for
- You are selling the business and want the process run without derailing operations
- An acquisition target's numbers look good but the contracts have not been checked
- A succession or family handover needs a structure everyone can accept
- An earn-out or price adjustment clause needs to be drafted so it can be measured
