We have extensive expertise in a wide range of transactions, from simple share or asset deals, to mergers, stock swaps, spin-offs, buy-outs, distressed transactions as well as highly complex multi-jurisdiction carve-outs, public takeovers and the defense against such takeovers.
Our clients are involved in virtually all business, industrial and financial sectors and all regions around the globe. With our team of highly specialized professionals in all relevant areas of law, we provide a seamless one-stop service to our clients, tailor-made to their needs and with a focus on business-orientated solutions and sensitivity for the particularities of their business. We are capable of covering all aspects and stages of the M&A process, from strategic planning and tax-efficient structuring to due diligence, drafting and negotiating of all relevant transaction documents, pre-closing preparations such as merger clearance, execution and post-merger integration. We also assist our clients with the resolution of any transaction-related employment law issues as well as post-merger disputes.
