M&A Legal 

Why Deloitte?

• The M&A Legal team combines decades of experience and is able to assist on the full deal spectrum. For every type of deal in every sector, the team can offer the required expertise. The members of the M&A Legal team are trained in a multi-disciplinary setting and thus have a broad understanding of all the relevant aspects that play a part in M&A transactions.
• The M&A Legal team is full service, meaning that all expertise areas are covered and the team handles the legal M&A support for all stages of the deal, including due diligence support and drafting and negotiating transaction documentation. As such, we advise on a variety of transactions such as (cross-border) sale and purchase transactions, setting up joint ventures, management participation plans, equity funding rounds and carve-out transactions.
• Clients benefit from the one-stop approach and inherent efficiencies, by mandating Deloitte on both the financial and legal support needed in their dealmaking.
• Because the legal and corporate finance teams are fully integrated, the legal team members participate in the various sector meetings and are knowledgeable on sector developments and deal trends.
• Financial and legal advisers are aligned and able to act together and without obstacles that may occur in the event of multiple mandates for multiple advisers. In various stages of a deal, both expertise areas add value and by offering an integrated team, we ensure that this value is maximized.
• Examples are: (i) an integrated financial and legal approach to a purchase price mechanism and closing mechanics, (ii) a comprehensive view on the buyer landscape, (iii) seamless cooperation in due diligence exercises with the other Deloitte service lines (financial, tax and ESG) and a coordinated translation of findings into transaction documentation, (iv) identification of possible bumps in the road at an early stage, ensuring a smooth ride throughout the transaction and (iv) full financial and legal support during negotiations on business issues.
