M&A
Mergers & Acquisitions
Failed M&A deals rarely come down to financials alone — often it's legal risk that went undetected during due diligence, or terms that weren't tight enough. We manage the M&A process from due diligence and deal structuring through to drafting and negotiating the definitive agreements, so both buyer and seller understand the risk and close with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
What does legal due diligence actually cover?
It covers key contracts, existing or potential disputes, IP status, required licenses, and other legal obligations of the target company — giving the buyer a true picture of risk before deciding.
Do small M&A deals still need legal counsel?
Yes. Even small deals carry legal risk with long-term consequences. Proper review and drafting typically saves far more in avoided disputes than the advisory cost itself.
How long does it take to close a deal?
It depends on size and complexity — small deals can close in a few weeks, while complex deals or those needing regulatory approval can take months. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand the deal.
