A poorly executed acquisition destroys value; a well-structured one compounds it. We advise buyers, sellers, and financial sponsors across the full M&A
Mergers & Acquisitions covers comparative legal assessment, documentation and coordination across international jurisdictions. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and families considering a cross-border structure or activity. There is no single offshore regime: legal effects, disclosures, taxation and permissions depend on the selected jurisdiction, relevant residence rules and the facts of each case.
The law and competent-authority requirements of the selected jurisdiction apply, together with rules in relevant tax-residence and operating jurisdictions. Comparison precedes selection and implementation.
A poorly executed acquisition destroys value; a well-structured one compounds it. We advise buyers, sellers, and financial sponsors across the full M&A lifecycle - indicative offer, due diligence, SPA negotiation, regulatory clearance, and post-completion integration - with a discipline that ensures risks are priced, not inherited.
Due diligence is where deal risk is identified or missed. We run or coordinate legal, tax, employment, IP, and regulatory workstreams, distilling findings into a risk matrix that feeds directly into warranty schedules, indemnity caps, and price-adjustment mechanisms.
We tailor each SPA or APA to the specifics of the transaction - earn-out formulas, escrow arrangements, material-adverse-change definitions, and non-compete scope - rather than relying on precedent templates that may not fit the deal.
