Legal advisory of Mergers and acquisitions

Our acquisition team consists of legal experts with long-term experience in significant and complex acquisitions and deep knowledge of other aspects of acquisition transactions beyond the scope of purely legal matters, particularly financial, tax and accounting. Our office also regularly participates in a number of cross-border transactions in close cooperation with Deloitte law offices across the European Union and many other countries.

We support and advise our clients from the initial stage of the transaction, i.e. the proposal of the basic acquisition concept, to strategic planning, legal audit, negotiation and drafting of contractual documentation, and post-acquisition steps.

Our services:

  • An analysis of the legal aspects of the planned transaction, including the proposal of suitable solutions and implementation options, explaining the pros and cons of each solution.
  • Preparation of a detailed transaction plan and implementation of all legal steps in the process of merger, division, other business transformations, re-purchase of minority investments, or any form of acquisition (sale of equity, business or part thereof, sale of assets, etc.).
  • Legal advisory on transaction strategy and complete project management.
  • Planning and execution of due diligence.
  • Legal support in the purchase or sale of equity investments or assets, including the preparation of all contracts and other legal documents, negotiations with the counterparty, conclusion and settlement of the transaction and follow-up steps.
  • Legal advisory on the admission of participating securities to trading on a regulated market, IPO or delisting of securities.
  • Obtaining licenses or permission from administrative authorities required for acquisition or restructuring.
