Mergers and Acquisitions

Merger, Acquisition and/or Restructuring

You are considering selling your company, or part of it, or you want to expand or take over another company? Acquisitions and mergers are complex processes that often involve major (financial) interests. It is important that you get advice on the process at an early stage.

As specialists in this field, we can guide your transaction (s) from start to finish:

• we take care of drawing up or assessing the confidentiality and intention agreement;
• we negotiate the (conditions of the) purchase and / or sales agreement and the guarantees to be included therein and, if desired, draw up the relevant documents;
• we take care of the eventual notarial transfer of shares, in close cooperation with the notary.

We regularly assist clients in collaboration with accountants / tax specialists, where we contribute our legal knowledge while the accountant applies his tax and financial experience.

The commercial interests of the client form the core of every transaction. We stand for smooth, pragmatic and proactive support and clear and concrete advice. Our (multidisciplinary) team approach ensures that we have an overview of all relevant legal processes when supervising such transactions. For example, has the Works Council been consulted, has there been government interference, what about Intellectual Property Rights?

We are happy to advice you on:

• Stock and asset transactions;
• Joint ventures, participations, mergers, demergers;
• Private equity: management buy-outs and buy-ins;
• (Re) structuring: from the split-off of business units to setting up (holding) structures;
• Shareholders and management agreements;
• Shareholder Disputes;
• Due diligence: prepare, coordinate and implement.
