Legal advice in connection with corporate mergers and demergers as well as the acquisition and sale of companies or business units is part of the services provided by our firm since the very beginning. The work related to acquisitions of companies for example often begins with the drafting of confidentiality agreements, followed by an indicative price offering, a legal due diligence and finally by the negotiating and drafting of a share or assets purchase contract. Beside from the standard aspects of warranties (purchasers usually seek to grant as few warranties as possible and buyers as many as possible), we are independently able to provide, thanks to our specialization in taxes, the necessary tax advice regarding all aspects of corporate acquisitions and sales.
Our legal services include in particular:
- legal due diligence
- structuring of suitable acquisition concepts
- drafting and negotiation of contracts
- drafting of closing documentation
- tax advice, tax rulings
