Corporate & M&A

The acquisition of companies and corporate groups as well as M&A and other restructuring measures are important levers for entrepreneurs and investors when implementing strategy. They are part of our core business. Our work for our clients includes performing the legal due diligence of a target company, negotiating the contracts needed for a transaction, setting up acquisition vehicles and optimizing the capital and tax structure. In all these tasks, we can draw on excellent interdisciplinary knowledge, including in the areas of tax, competition, banking, employment and intellectual property law.

Our Corporate & M&A services include

  • Acquisitions and sales, mergers, spin-offs and joint ventures
  • Private equity transactions
  • General issues in connection with company and groups law as well as law governing stock exchange transactions
  • Advice to boards of directors with regard to directors’ liability and legal strategy aspects
  • Support for companies in relation to corporate housekeeping and corporate compliance
