Mergers and Acquisitions are transactions involving multiple stages that significantly affect the future of companies and shareholders, and they therefore require careful planning, evaluation and proven experience. In this multi-stage legal process, our team provides comprehensive advice to ensure that the client is represented and that their interests are protected in the best possible way at every step. Adopting a results-oriented and innovative approach, we represent both sellers and buyers in domestic and cross-border M&A transactions in the most thorough manner — at the initial stage (confidentiality agreements, letters of intent), in the subsequent stages (legal due diligence, all project agreements, follow-up of conditions precedent and, where required, obtaining the necessary approvals from administrative authorities) and at closing (share transfers, capital injections and management changes).
- Drafting and negotiation of confidentiality agreements, letters of intent and binding/non-binding offers;
- Carrying out comprehensive or red-flag legal due diligence, preparation of reports and executive summaries, assessment of legal risks and preparation of related memos;
- Drafting and negotiation of share transfer agreements, share subscription agreements, shareholders' agreements, disclosure letters and all other transaction documents and ancillary agreements, and organisation of the signing process;
- Supporting the client in the satisfaction of conditions precedent, follow-up thereof, and obtaining approvals from authorities such as the Competition Board, the Treasury Undersecretariat, the Capital Markets Board and the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, depending on the project;
- Execution and completion of share transfers, capital subscriptions and any related general assembly resolutions in the event of management changes.
