Mergers and acquisitions

Company or business line acquisition, setting up joint ventures. In the EUR 1 to 50 million segment, we have conducted over 50 M&A transactions successfully over the past 10 years. We have considerable experience in both asset deals and share deals. We support clients throughout the entire transaction, be they the buyer or the seller.

In doing so, we provide assistance at the planning stage, carry out legal due diligence of the target company, and provide comprehensive due diligence with the help of external partners (legal as well as technical, tax, and financial). We take care of obtaining approval for a transaction from the competition authority, draft the transaction agreement, and participate in negotiations in order to achieve the best result. Once the agreement is signed, we offer to manage the closing conditions and support in post-closing tasks as well.


In addition, we take part in the day-to-day administration of companies, represent them before the Court of Registration, help to optimize their internal processes, and support them in performing compliance tasks as well as on corporate financing issues.

Successful litigation consists of many components. A vital aspect is appropriate preparation, in the course of which we analyse in detail the possibilities, legal risks and expected outcomes. Selecting and applying the right tactics for the case is also significant, again requiring in-depth analysis or even a simulation of the steps expected in the litigation.

What is needed is a good legal team where everyone is able to contribute up-to-date knowledge in their fields of specialty so that all legal aspects of a dispute can be identified. Also needed are experts who are renowned and recognised in their respective fields, making their expert opinions convincing and clearly well-founded in court.
