Mergers & Acquisitions

We advise clients on all stages of the M&A process – from strategic planning and legal due diligence to transaction structuring, negotiation, and post-closing integration.

Our legal support includes corporate and tax structuring, drafting and negotiating share purchase and shareholders agreements, overseeing the completion of conditions precedent (CPs), and facilitating smooth post-transaction alignment.

Our M&A team specialises in private equity, debt-financed acquisitions, joint ventures, management buy-outs, exits, merger control, and venture capital transactions.

We also assist buyers and sellers in restructuring deals and transactions involving distressed businesses. In addition to typical share deals, we frequently advise on asset deals, requiring close collaboration between our M&A, Banking & Finance, Tax, Employment, Competition, Intellectual Property, and Real Estate teams to deliver holistic, deal-driven legal support.
